I’m framing a home for an owner builder. Him and I have a contract. I’m not a contractor myself, I had a guy help me (he’s not a contractor either) and I paid him for the first half of construction, he never came back for the second half and is now Threatening the threaten owner saying he’s going to put a lien on his property for non payment. This is in Arizona, is this valid? If the guy didn’t do the work there is nothing anyone owes him. ...Read More
ACCRAM INC is a licensed Low Voltage Cabling contractor in Arizona. We have a contract with a GC/Developer with a "paid when paid" clause. We filed pre liens on time. Our final date of doing any work on this project was March 15th 2019. We are still owed 133K. The GC has construction issues unrelated to the work we have completed and therefore is not getting paid by the owner and has not paid us. I plan to file a "notice of intent to lien today. How does the "paid when paid " clause work in Arizona and can I demand payment for our work even though the GC claims they have not been paid yet by the owner....Read More

I know that ARS 32-1159 governs construction/contractor indemnification language, and that Arizona just passed a new bill about this. The bill is SB 1271. However, I'm not sure whether this affects commercial and residential construction, or just commercial jobs. I'm in charge of our contracts and need some more clarity about this. What is the status of contractor indemnification language in Arizona now?...Read More

I contracted to install stone veneer according to a sample panel. The Rabbi insisted that I adjust the style. This adjustment cost me substantially more in labor expense than my original bid. I have asked for payment and am being refused. I have invested personal funds to continue the project but have no more money to pay my workers. I have stopped work on the job and am facing possible legal action from the general contractor. There was never a work order presented by myself or the general contractor. There are no clauses in the original contract that deal with "Change Orders". How should I proceed ? Continue to work and invest without guarantee of payment ? Stop work and risk litigation ?...Read More
