Hello. We're doing business in California. When we have a contract with the Owner of a job, do we need to send a Preliminary Notice to the owner? Or does the contract take the place of the notice? Additionally, if there is a bond on such a job, and I send a notice to the Surety Company, do I list the Owner and General Contractor on the notice, even if I'm not mailing notices to those entities? Thank you!
Thank you, Brion! In this case, The Owner is the owner of property on which an aparmtent complex will be built. I take it this applies to any situation, whether a homeowner or a private large-scale developer?
In this case there is a bond (but no lender). When I create the Prelim, do I list only the Surety company and send a copy to the Owner and GC, or do I plug the name / address of the Owner and GC into those fields on the document?
My confuson lies in which entities I actually list on the Prelim itself.
