We are a GC and we had a job in San Rafael. Its been since about May and we have still not received our retention money from the owners of the job. My boss is under the impression that as the GC the normal time frame to file a Mechanics lien does not apply to the GC? We are just wanting to know if thats accurate and what options do we have on this issue. I called the bank lender for the project they are not showing on record a notice of completion.
