Which date is last furnishing date
ConnecticutHello! We are uPVC windows and doors supplier, and we are working in 20 states all over USA. We are delivering windows under main agreement with client within few months, and if client needs something additional we sign additional agreement (or client change order) and we are delivering additional orders paid by client until project is completed. My question is regarding last delivery date, which date should be our last delivery date for Lien purposes, when we delivered main order last container or we can extend this to when we delivered last additional order paid by client? Also, how would lien deadline calculate for retainage? Thank you!

Thank you for your response. Could you clarify, when selecting last furnishing date, if additional items (paid by client) with signed additional agreement are delivered after a month or later on the bulk of a project's total work should not be exluded as "not substantial" work on the project? We read this in Levelset:
Be careful when selecting your last furnishing date. A recent Connecticut decision in Constr. Ken-Nection Inc v. Cipriano leaves open the issue of whether work performed after a month and a half delay on the bulk of a project’s work should be excluded as “substantial” work on the project. This case, which is important when calculating your Connecticut mechanics lien deadlines, was discussed in this article: Which Work or Material to Include When Calculating A Mechanics Lien Deadline?
For example - main order is $100,000 and additional orders are $1,000
Thank you!
