So in our line of business, we supply roofing material to the general contractors and sometimes orders will get Will Called and we dont have an address for them because either 1. the roofer doesn't know it off the top of his head
2. the roofer doesn't normally give an address because he is a regular good customer
So when this happens if something goes wrong and then we don't get payment who do we go after? Or are we just out of luck and that comes as a business loss for us. ...Read More

We are the contractors holding the contract directly with the home owner on a homestead residential project. We did not file a contract with the county of the job site address. Due to us providing emergency mitigation services we normally sign the agreement and provide the work on the same day, this does not leave an opportunity to file the contract with the jobsite county prior to beginning work to protect payment on projects. In the past we have been successful in protecting our investment/ return on the project by filling a Constitutional Lien Without filing the contract Affidavit with the county prior to beginning work. Please advice if this is a valid lien process and how to protect our payment with other jobs where we cannot file contracts prior to beginning work. ...Read More

Hi there,
On a Lump Sum contract, the Specification lists for UPS battery type A or B is acceptable.
Who decides which?
I.e. Is it the Contractor who can benefit when choosing the lower price product.
or is it the Engineer, who expects that the Contractor will have prices for the most erroneuos option in all cases, to cover himself and benefit if low price option is required
Thanks

funds to keep his other projects going and who knows what else?
It's a cost + 30% (I know!) contract.
To date, he has presented invoices totaling less than, including his profit, than we have paid him.
Now he wants more money. I asked for what? He said to pay, "XYZ Contractor". I said, but you already presented that as being paid. He said, no we only gave him a deposit. We didn't pay the whole bill that we sent to you.
Is that legal?
