New Mexico Mechanics Lien Form

I'm not entirely sure I understand the question - specifically the distinction between the "parts" and "controls." Further, while mechanics lien claims are typically available when construction work is performed but not paid for, work on government property will generally not be lienable. Rather, the GC on federal jobs will usually be required to provide a payment bond - and claims may be made against that. More on that here: Types of Construction Projects – What are They and Why You Should Care. If a mechanics lien was properly filed and additional claims are appropriate - then filing an additional lien claim for the separate work or materials may be appropriate. New Mexico's mechanics lien statute doesn't specifically provide for the ability to amend mechanics lien claims.

Owners can contest mechanics liens in a few ways - namely: by making legal threats, bonding off the lien claim, or by challenging the lien via legal action. Generally, owners will start with legal threats - and a demand letter from an attorney requiring the claimant to release their lien or face legal penalties could be effective. Alternatively, bonding off a mechanics lien will be useful for getting the property title out of the equation - though, the claimant could still pursue recovery against that bond. And, finally, an owner could file suit against the claimant contending the lien is improper, fraudulent, etc. - and the owner could pursue damages as a result of the lien claim as well. Every situation is different, though. So, it's usually a good idea to assess the options available and determine what steps make the most sense for you. Certainly, consulting a New Mexico construction attorney could be valuable for that.
