What do we do after we file a pre lien?

UtahLien DeadlinesMechanics Lien

We started a remodel job on a unit in Park City Utah. Towards the end of the job, the owner wanted an inbuilt closet which we explained to her she couldn't afford in her budget but she insisted. So we stopped everything until we figured out the closet dilemma. We finished 90% of the remodel. We came back to the unit to find she hired someone else. We didnt file a pre lien at the beginning of the job. We filed it like on the 19th day since beginning the job. She won't answer our phone calls, return our phone calls, or even return our emails. Whats next after the pre lien we filed. Do we just wait. Thanks

If you have a timely preliminary notice filed, then I would recommend getting a construction lien filed as soon as possible and then foreclosing that lien within 180 days of filing the lien if the matter is still not resolved. If you don't have a timely preliminary notice, then you should probably consider your options by contacting a lawyer familiar with construction liens.
