On public projects in New Jersey, there are two potential types of protection: a claim against a contractor’s bond, and a lien claim against the contract funds.
As against the contractor’s bond, the parties entitled to make a claim are 1st and 2nd tier subcontractors and material suppliers (suppliers to suppliers are not entitled to protection.
As against the contract funds, the parties entitled to file a lien are 1st and 2nd tier subcontractors, or suppliers to the general contractor or 1st or 2nd tier subcontractors. Note, however, that this remedy is not allowed for public projects involving the state or state agencies – it is only allowable when the contracting public agency is “county, city, town, township, public commission, public board or other municipality.”
Can you clarify this for me? Also, do you have to hire an attorney to file a lien on the contract or is this something that Level set will be able to do? Thanks.

New JerseyWorking as a volunteer for NCARB on ARE preparation.
New JerseyGetting a large deck rebuilt. $42K total.
Contractor wants $9k up front for materials, $17k before starting work, $13k once "decking" (top Trex surface) starts, leaving $4K payable upon completion.
I'm a homeowner looking to protect myself (and with zero intention of abusing the contractor financially), but understand that the contractor (not knowing me) is looking for a payment schedule most beneficial to him.
I have no problem paying for materials upfront, but feel that I should be paying (primarily) upon COMPLETION of milestones (footings, sonotubes placement/filling/code-official approval, ledger, beam installation, joist installation, etc) rather than BEFORE work is done. And leaving only 10% payable upon completions seems way too low. ..... too easy for him to "walk away" if we have a disagreement over workmanship. Notwithstanding my desire to pay upon completion of milestones, I understand that he is entitled to at least sufficient ongoing payments to cover materials and staff/sub-contractor salaries as work progresses.
So........... what is (are) typical payment schedules for such a job. FWIT, I'm in New Jersey
