We are a GC that was told to stop work by our client in April due to loss of financing. Until now, we have been using that date to determine our lien deadline, which would be July 6. We are now told that they have a new equity partner and the plan is in the works to continue and complete the project. Can we used this as basis to not have to file a lien by July 6, and our lien deadline would be based off of when we last perform for the portion that remains to be completed? We have not been at the site since April 7.

If work resumes, then the last furnishing date would generally be reset. But, if it's unclear whether work will resume, then it might be safer to go ahead and file the lien claim.
