Troubled Construction Project Recovery Fort Worth & DFW — Fast General Contracting LLC
The call comes in one of a few ways. Sometimes it is a homeowner whose custom home contractor stopped showing up six months into a $1.2M build — framing complete, roof on, but windows missing and subcontractors owed money. Sometimes it is a commercial developer whose project manager quit mid-project and left a construction program with no one steering it. Sometimes it is a property owner who has been watching costs climb week after week with no explanation and no end in sight.
Whatever the situation, the need is the same — an experienced general contractor who can walk onto a troubled project, assess it honestly, develop a realistic recovery plan, and deliver completion. That is what Fast General Contracting does. We have been recovering troubled construction projects throughout Fort Worth and DFW for 25 years — stepping in where other contractors failed and finishing what they could not.
If your construction project is stalled, over budget, or abandoned, call us. We will give you an honest assessment of where things stand — what was done correctly, what needs to be redone, what it will cost to complete, and how long it will take. No false promises. No inflated numbers. Just an accurate picture and a realistic plan.

Signs Your Construction Project Is in Trouble
Construction projects rarely fail all at once. They fail gradually — with warning signs that owners often recognize but hope will resolve on their own. They rarely do. If you are experiencing any of these situations, call Fast General Contracting for an assessment before the problem gets worse.
WARNING SIGNS LIST:
- Your contractor has stopped returning calls or responding to messages
- Construction activity has slowed or stopped without explanation
- Subcontractors are calling you directly — often because they have not been paid
- Costs are running significantly over the original budget with no clear explanation
- The project is months behind the original schedule with no recovery plan
- Building inspections have failed and the contractor has not resolved the issues
- Permits have expired or were never pulled for work that has been completed
- Work that was supposedly completed needs to be redone
- Your contractor has abandoned the project entirely
- You have lost confidence in your contractor’s ability to finish the project
Our Troubled Project Recovery Process
Fast General Contracting’s troubled project recovery process is designed to give you an accurate picture of where your project stands as quickly as possible — and a realistic plan to finish it.
Comprehensive Site Assessment
We evaluate all completed work for quality and code compliance, identify work that needs to be redone, assess subcontractor relationships and outstanding payment obligations, review permit status and inspection history, and document the complete remaining scope.
Honest Recovery Report
We give you a complete written assessment of what was done correctly, what needs to be corrected or redone, an accurate cost estimate to complete the project from the current state, and a realistic timeline. This is the most important document in the recovery process.
Permitting and Compliance Resolution
We resolve outstanding permit issues, failed inspections, and code compliance problems before new construction begins — because building on a non-compliant foundation creates problems that multiply through every subsequent phase.

Subcontractor Replacement and Procurement
We replace underperforming or unresponsive subcontractors with qualified alternatives from our established DFW subcontractor network — ensuring that recovery construction is executed by reliable tradespeople who will deliver on their commitments.
Recovery Construction and Completion
We manage recovery construction with the same project management discipline we apply to new construction — rigorous schedule management, real-time budget tracking, weekly progress reports, and proactive communication until your project is complete and occupied.
Commercial Project Recovery DFW
Commercial construction project failures create cascading financial consequences — carrying costs continue, tenant leases are in jeopardy, financing covenants may be triggered, and business operations are disrupted for every day a commercial project remains unfinished. Fast General Contracting understands the urgency that commercial property owners and developers face when a construction program goes off the rails.
We have recovered stalled commercial construction programs throughout DFW — office buildings, retail centers, restaurants, warehouses, and tenant improvement projects abandoned mid-construction. Our commercial recovery process moves fast — comprehensive assessment within 48 hours, recovery plan within one week, construction mobilization as quickly as permit and subcontractor circumstances allow.
Residential Project Recovery Fort Worth
A stalled custom home is one of the most stressful situations a homeowner can face. You are likely living in temporary housing, paying both rent and a construction loan, watching weather damage accumulate on an exposed structure, and dealing with contractors and subcontractors who may be hostile, unresponsive, or legally problematic. Fast General Contracting has helped DFW homeowners through every variation of this situation.
We approach residential recovery with the same honesty we bring to commercial recovery — giving you an accurate picture of where things stand, including what your previous contractor did wrong and what it will cost to make it right. We know that is not always easy to hear. But it is always what you need to know to make good decisions about the path forward.
Lender or Attorney Referred?
