Hello, My general contracting firm Works directly to building operators. As a GC and not a subcontractor, are we required to send a preliminary lien notice or are we able to Lein the building within 90 days if we have mechanic lein notices language within our agreements? It's my understanding that preliminary lein notices are required if we work under a general contractor or a lender. Dan
What do you mean by "building operator"? Even if you have a direct contract with the project/property owner, it is still a good idea to serve a preliminary notice and is often times required (e.g., when there is a construction lender) in many instances.
