This is regarding a Lien that was filed on 7/12/22 and Levelset said it was to expire on 10/07/22, but had requested a lien extension on 9/27/22. We received an email from Levelset on 10/02/22 stating they were missing some info but that they were going to send it out anyway. As of today, it has not been sent, we called in to check on the status and it seems they were still waiting on us to respond and it is now scheduled to go out tomorrow. We were unaware of this delay and now it is passed the lien expiration date, so will this lien extension even be valid? Are we still protected with this lien?...Read More

Often as a subcontractor the systems integrator can say, "I will pay you when my client pays me!" In this situation when I don't own the customer, I am at the system integrator's mercy. Short of holding their contracts hostage by directing my teams to stop software development if I don't get paid, what is the bay way to manage this situation and still maintain a good working relationship with my client, the systems integrator?...Read More

The word "completed" is used often for notice and bond/lien required dates...are these deadlines starting from when we completed our scope or when the full project is completed?...Read More

Hello We signed a construction contract with a builder where we make payments on a turnkey project. The payments are now more than 50% of the contract sum but the actual work is about 30% done. Since we would like to exit the contract on the basis that the builder had done little on our premisses but keep on demanding advance payments. The builder decided to send us unreasonable additional costs. How to deal reasonable negotiate with him and how to get back our balance? ...Read More
