If you've tried talking it out and cannot get the customer to pay you, a written notice is usually the best next step. A formal warning or notice helps create a timeline in case this escalates further (which it likely will if the customer refuses to pay you). Of course, this is based on the limited facts you've provided. Many factors (for example: A term of the contract related to timely completion) would play into how you may want to word your letter in order to ensure you are not hurting your own case.

Depending on the amount outstanding and the total value of the construction as a whole, you may want to consider filing a mechanic's lien.
