Can I write a clause in my contract to keep owners off the job site to minimize client interference?
I am a GC who builds custom homes and does remodels. Customers believe that because it is their house being built, that they have the right to be on the job site every day, sometimes all day or multiple visits per day even if there is no one there working. They do not understand the process and often simply Hijack the job. They attempt to direct the subs, change materials or plans (often after installation) invite neighbors to walk through the job site to check on ___, etc. Not only does owner presence create perpetual and costly changes and delays, I am concerned about the danger and liability factor. Can I put a clause in the contract that states the owner can only visit the job site by appointment and when accompanied by the GC or Designated representative? And in the case of a renovation, especially if the owner resides on site, how can I minimize owner interference?
North CarolinaWe did work on a vehicle the customer said they would make payments to the shop. They made 2 payments and have not made a payment since and they have their vehicle. We took them to court and won they have to pay us and pay cost of court. However, they still have not made a payment. Can we file for a lien against their vehicle?

North CarolinaI am a property manager who did $7000 plus work on one of the properties I manage. Owner authorized on phone. Now she does not want to pay up. Can I file a lien. Home was vacant and she did not have funds to paint/floors/ac broke so this had to be completed prior to re-renting. 2nd time around with this owner....should have known better.

North CarolinaWe have a NC Public project that we did not send an upfront notice on. Do we have any other options to enact our rights? I know NC has a lot of forms and options for filing liens but not certain when a Public project is involved.
North CarolinaWe hired a prime contractor for siding, they subbed it out, we didn’t even know until they fired the crew for gross negligence and mistakes. Job finished within that week, we paid in full. A month and a week later sub filed a mechanics lien on our property. Why would we be expected to pay twice? We paid in full with the company we had a contract with a month and a week before this lien was filed in North Carolina.
North CarolinaHello,
I had a contractor pour concrete to make a patio in NC . I paid him full in cash. That contractor had subcontracted to 2 more subcontractors above him (so contractor doing the actual job, another subcontractor and then supplier above him). Now concrete supplier is saying he will put a lien on my property for 3K payment he needs for materials.
Can supplier put a lien on my property or is there another way to get out of this double payment without much headache?
Fyi, we never had spoken to or have any contract with that supplier until he called us by getting our phone number from google using my address.
North CarolinaThis project appears to be a State/County WWTP project and we did NOT file our Preliminary Notice of Subcontract. Can we still claim bond rights? Are there other options we have to have rights on this project?
North CarolinaI own property and have contracted Concrete work which is now happening.
Yesterday a Concrete Truck (from "RC") showed up at my house, (with my address on the order) and was refused by my Contractor, who claimed it was ordered by a different person / company. (yes, it's fishy.)
The Concrete truck returned to the RC lot.
RC have told me that the order was placed by a different person (with different company name) from my contractor.
My contractor claims to not know who ordered it.
Now RC says they have been advised by their legal counsel to "inform me that they intend to file a lien on my property for payment of the Concrete delivery", which I did not authorize, or order.
Do they have grounds for a lien? It seems to me this would be a Fraudulent Lien since they have no contract with me (the property owner, or interested party) and I did not authorize the delivery, or commit to making payment.
Thanks in advance for any advice!
North CarolinaWhat is standard language for a late penalty clause and delivery around substantial completion?
North CarolinaWe are a general contractor that has completed a full roof replacement on a home in Garner, North Carolina on 08/26/ 2021 and have been unable to contact the homeowner for final payment. Zillow has the home as sold on 10/22/2021. Can we still file a lien? Would it be against the new homeowner and do we have to find the new homeowners information to do that?
North CarolinaA contractor that I once hired is charging $3,600 me more than the amount that he agreed on with the home insurance company adjuster. Payment was sent before his due date. He stated that If he didn’t get payment before his did date he threaten to charge full price and put a lien on my property. He claims that payment was late and decided to bill me the difference what is owed. There was no written contract. Can he still put a Lien in my property?
