Payment Resolution Partners

Collection Agency for Architects

Professional Debt Recovery for Architects and Design Firms

Architects bring visions to life—designing structures that shape skylines and communities. From initial consultations to final blueprints, your time and expertise are invaluable. But when clients delay or withhold payment, it can disrupt your operations and cash flow. That’s where Payment Resolution Partners comes in.

We specialize in debt collection for architectural services, helping architects, design studios, and planning consultants recover overdue payments from property developers, homeowners, corporate clients, and contractors—professionally, efficiently, and without damaging your reputation or relationships.

Whether you’re an independent architect or part of a larger firm, we tailor our collection approach to your business model, allowing you to stay focused on design and client success—not chasing unpaid invoices.

Why Architects Trust Us to Collect What They’re Owed

We Understand Architectural Billing Structures

From fixed-fee contracts to phased billing and hourly consulting rates, we understand how architects charge for design, planning, and consulting services. Our collectors are trained in the nuances of architectural invoicing, ensuring a smooth and knowledgeable approach to account recovery.

We Protect Client Relationships

Repeat clients and referrals are essential in the architecture industry. That’s why our approach is firm but respectful. We recover what you’re owed while preserving your professional reputation and future project opportunities.

We Spot the Difference Between Delayed and Problem Clients

Some clients forget to pay, while others may avoid responsibility. We know how to differentiate between late payers and true non-payers—using the right tone and tactics to recover your funds effectively.

We Stay Compliant and Professional

We follow all relevant federal and state collection regulations, including the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). Our process is professional, ethical, and tailored to uphold your business’s integrity.

The Collection Process: Built for Architects

Step 1: Invoice Review

We start by assessing your unpaid invoices—whether for design services, project management, consultations, or construction documents.

Step 2: Custom Strategy Based on Your Services

Whether you work on residential, commercial, or public-sector projects, we align our collection strategy with your business model and communication style.

Step 3: Professional Outreach

We contact your clients with clear, respectful communication that emphasizes resolution. We never use aggressive or brand-damaging tactics.

Step 4: Payment Recovery and Updates

You’ll receive regular status updates and prompt payment transfers. We take the burden off your plate so you can focus on delivering exceptional architectural work.

Most Collection Agencies Don’t Understand Architects… We Do!

Many generic agencies don’t grasp the complexities of architectural work—like multi-phase contracts, client approvals, permitting delays, or retainer agreements. At Payment Resolution Partners, we specialize in debt collection for architects, and we understand your processes, timelines, and client expectations.

We don’t use one-size-fits-all tactics. Our team uses industry-specific strategies to help architects recover unpaid fees—without risking project relationships or your firm’s reputation.

Our Client Testimonials

Zach Bramble, MBA
BookSmarts Tax

“I was in a total stand still with a client who just wouldn’t pay. Every conversation became an argument and we were making no progress. PRP jumped in, kept it professional and helped everyone get back on track. In just a matter of days, they got the client to agree to a resolution and cut a check. Huge relief. If you find yourself in a position where you have a client who won’t pay and it’s turning into a mess, you want PRP on your side.“

Dov Ellenbogen, Partner
HiRelations

“After providing three months of marketing services, our client underwent an acquisition and our main contact left the company. During the transition, our payment was overlooked and all communication stopped. PRP brought them back to the table and secured the full payment. We highly recommend them to anyone having difficulty collecting a payment, even in complex situations.“

Josh P., Owner
Cutting Tools Industry

“Really enjoyed working with Payment Resolution Partners. I had never worked with a collections company before, but they were polite, professional, and helped us recoup a good amount of money from a customer that had not paid their invoice for 18 months. The cost for their service was very fair, they communicated well through the entire process, and they will certainly be our “first stop” for future collection issues.“

John Tuck, Owner
Tuck Farms

“We had a customer who initially sent a check that got misplaced, then claimed he sent another one – but nothing ever arrived. After multiple follow-ups and a declined credit card, communication completely stopped. PRP was able to step in, get the customer talking again, and make paying our invoice a top priority. In a matter of weeks, they secured payment. I highly recommend PRP if you’re dealing with a non-responsive client and need results.”

Scott Sulllivan, Owner
Cascade Plumbing

“PRP helped us recover two difficult accounts, including one from a repeat customer who had always paid on time until suddenly going silent on a large invoice. They got the right people involved, and within days, the CEO personally reached out and issued full payment. The second was a new client with a bad track record of not paying vendors that we didn’t know about until it was too late. They hadn’t answered a single call or email in months, but PRP managed to recover the full amount – plus late fees. If you’re a plumbing company or any trade business struggling to collect, I highly recommend PRP. Great communication, relentless follow-up, and they get results.”
