Can I send out prelim notices for jobs that aren't under contract?

CaliforniaConstruction ContractPreliminary Notice

We are subcontractors that typically enter into contracts with GC's to perform work. However, not all of our jobs have contracts with GC's. Can I still send out prelim notices for the jobs that do not have contracts?

If you are performing work for pay you always have a contract with someone. If the contract is directly with the owner, then preliminary notice is not required unless a lender is involved in which case preliminary notice should be sent to the lender. If the contract is with a lower tier contractor (not the GC) then you still must send preliminary notice and the notice should be sent to the owner, GC, and lender (if any).
