You can sue for breach of contract. Just because you do not have mechanic's lien rights doesn't mean the money is not owed. It just means the debt is not secured by a lien. You need to do a cost benefit analysis to determine whether the $30,000 is worth the cost of litigation. Most lawsuits cost more than $30,000 so you need to consider: (1) how strong your case is and (2) whether the people you are suing would be collectible.
