My client clicked approve on the digital proposal through CoConstruct but left the signature line blank. He paid 1/3 up front as required. We did the project in November 2020. He has ignored all phone calls, texts, and email for the last couple months. Can I legally enforce payment? To complicate matters we have switched from CoConstruct to Job Progress. Our CoConstruct membership is set to expire on 3/14/21.
You don't specify if this was residential or commercial work, and different rules will apply depending on that answer. Generally, work performed at the request of an owner needs to be paid for, and depending on the amount of the work and other important factors, a mechanic's lien might be the right approach for you. I suggest you get in contact with an experienced construciton law attorney as soon as possible.
Good luck!
