Legal Question in Construction Law in Illinois

We have a signed contract with a homeowner to provide kitchen cabinetry for $ 20,000.00 which we have done. The builder of the home has only ran $ 11,000.00 through the title company and has told us that the balance of the $ 20,000.00 will be paid directly from the builder because the homeowner went over their budget. (We have this information in writing.) We have signed a final waiver for the $ 11,000.00 through the title company and are now having problems getting paid through the builder for the remainder. If we do have to get an attorney, does signing the final waiver for the title company cause issues (legally) in going after the builder for the rest of the money? Thank you!

In order to answer this question, your contract with the builder and/or escrow would have to be reviewed and also the contract with the homeowner. My firm handles these types of matters and if you would like to discuss further please feel free to contact me at [email protected]. Thank you.
