We have 2 projects in Georgia right now. Payment is about a week late for 2 invoices. We also submitted a pay app on 11/15 for approval last month for work through 11/30 and still have not received approvals or feedback. Management wants to file an intent to lien tomorrow. Is this possible? If so, what needs to be done? Can you also point me in the direction of a good source for research on GA lien laws? Thanks!...Read More
I am an electrical subcontractor for a solar farm. We have 2 sites in GA under Narenco (GC). We have 1 invoice for each site that is overdue by 8 days and 9 days. Can we file an intent to lien this early in the overdue process? Also, they are now refusing to approve the next pay app for each site for work completed November 1-30, which was originally sent to them on 11/15. Can these amounts be included in the intent to lien on each site? Lastly, after reviewing the GA Lien Laws FAQ page, I noticed that GA's lien waiver form is mandatory state wide. They are not using the mandated form. Would this make any completed lien waivers null and void? What does this affect? Thank you!...Read More
