I'm the owner. Seems I may need to dismiss the GC and he is behind on progress payments to the plumber sub, but I have overpaid GC considering the overall project progress GC has made. GC has split with sub and has dismissed him. I understand that I may not be legally responsible to sub as a result of my overpayment to GC. However, will it cost me attorney's fees to get any wrongly placed mechanic's liens removed? And, how do I substantiate that I have overpaid? I have proof of payment, but no partial lien waivers from anyone. Should I ask my architect or engineer for a written assessment before I take over and complete the job?
I also need the same advice for you.
