We signed a contract with a builder to build my house for $300,000. Construction started in September. We have paid $250,000 and still have about $50,000 left before our construction is complete. The contract we signed had allowances for things like tile, fixtures, and septic. Today he told me prices have changed and labor has gone up on the tile and cost of the septic. Am I responsible for the difference? Example: Allowance for Floor Tile $5 sq ft for tile and $6 sq ft for labor to install it. I have already purchased my tile for $5 sq ft but if the labor to install is now $12 sq ft... Am I now responsible for the extra cost to install or am I covered by the original contract allowance cost? This site has been very helpful in the past. Thank you everyone for sharing your knowledge and experiences with me. ~ Thanks...Read More

Hi, My company recently did some metal work for a new hotel that was being constructed. I placed a mechanics lien on the hotel back in May/June of this year to ensure that my company would be paid for our work, given that the owners were acting very erratic with the money. I found out today that the hotel recently opened for business last Thursday (9/10). Should my lien have been satisfied first prior to the hotel opening for business? Thank you, Rickin ...Read More

Just moved into my new construction home this past spring and am experiencing foundational issues with the concrete and block work, they company that built my home is called Homes In Partnership and they are aware and say they are helping but have taken no actions to make any remedy to my home and the problem is only worsening over time. The exterior cracking in concrete was the first symptom but every day we find more cracking, and it is ripping into the drywall, cabinets, window and door frames, and the grout on the floor and bathrooms. The stem wall was broken at beginning of construction and builders were made aware; however, we believe nothing proper was ever done to fix the stem wall and that it is leading to the new home split apart at the seams....Read More

We recently inquired partnering up with a invoice factoring company to help with the extreme growth of our company. We were in need of cashflow solutions fast and started the process in December. From December to end of January we paid almost $2k for company fees and underwriting fees. We soon realized that although we had already CLOSED twice with their underwriters, they kept adding restrictions the original term and kept putting our account on hold because we did not want to agree with those added terms; this was done twice and each time they charged us to write up another contract. We finally cut ties with that factoring company and just took the lost of money to not have any relation with them, I also want to add that this process took so long that they actually received a check from one of our customers to their remittance address and ignored us for almost a week on the release of the payment. They only released that check once I threatened to report them to the factoring association. This factoring company filed a UCC on my company even though they never factored any checks or financed us. We now have been working with another factoring company that has been very helpful in our situation, but we have hit a a stop in the process because the first factoring company does not answer us to release the UCC filed on my company. Our new factoring company was able to get in contact with the first company but they just put excuses in order to not release the UCC (they say they need to speak to me but never call/answer my calls). Long story short I am stuck now because the first factoring company did not want to fund us, rather robbed us almost $2k, and also doesn't want another company factoring use by holding that UCC. This is hurting the operation of my business and I need to do what ever it takes to not let the first company hold the UCC cause me not to be able to get funded. Please advise ...Read More

I work in the facilities Department of a university in Pennsylvania. Our Tenant(A deli) is having a floor installed over the existing floor. they have paid the contractor in full for all materials and service installation. In our lease agreement it specifies that the tenant shall deliver copies of a Waiver of Lien to the landlord along with evidence that such Lien Waiver has been duly filed with the Prothonotary prior to commencement of work or delivery of materials. Can someone tell me which is the correct form to use/fill out? I am filling it out for the General Contractor to release the university from all responsibility of payment for any materials and services. I do not know how to go about filing with the Prothonotary. Please advise(Time sensitive) Thank you....Read More
