Tom, as a (former) residential real estate developer, I realize that the question I am about to ask is difficult to answer without a lot more data. However, I am now in the food products business (would be a refrigerated food) and I need to build a Use Of Funds surrounding the building of a manufacturing plant. In general, can you suggest a cost per foot to build a manufacturing plant that would have all of the codes met for the processing of a food? Even a $200 per foot range is still fine (e.g. $400-600 per foot). ...Read More

I recently did a job for a prime at the army base in Washington state JBLM, I was the the sub for a pharmaceutical company out of California we built a mezzanine that was not to spec but their drawings. We used all of the materials in the bid and delivered on time. I told the prime in two emails I don't think we should build this due to them reducing the material size. I even offered to mail a money order back they insisted we build the structure. It did not pass final inspection, and now the wont pay me. They are now claiming to sue me. I told them this was a bad idea no certs, no stamps no engineering? Permits? I am out a great deal of money and the ARMY is also mad at the prime, which I did tell the army "If you hire shit primes you get shit work" The army told me they always take the cheapest bid, The prime had clearly stated in email that they were liable for engineering permits and design. We finished our project without final payment $13,500. I am curious how to proceed Brandon McDannel 206-661-0729 Brandon@Ballardmarinefabricators.com...Read More

I work for an architectural company and I'm finding out the process to file a lien. In Texas they require you to send a notice of intent to the customer.
