My question is related to the following.
We did a preliminary notice on an address that we thought was the location. This was to the best of our knowledge at the time.
The customer did not pay. We contacted the GC but they agreed to pay us but then changed there mind and stated that they never received a preliminary notice. Looks like the job was near the location we had our equipment at.
Do we have any recourse? Can we still move forward with a mechanics lien? ...Read More

We are the CG on 2 public school projects in Ohio. The projects that are already recently started, but I cannot locate Notices of Commencement on the respective county recorders' websites. Should I still file a NOF immediately or wait to see if the produce an NOC? Since we are the GC should we file the NOC in 10 days if the NOC does not appear to be filed? Or would we need to be specifically asked by the school to be an Owner Designee? In that case should we also file an NOF or just NOC? Also do I need to obtain bond information and how? We are bonded, but I'm not sure, should the need arise, how we would make a claim against the public bond without the info.
Thanks!...Read More

I am educating myself on NOC and NOF to better serve the company I work for. My questions are:
1. How many times do you have to request an NOC from the contractor?
2. Does work completed before filing a NOF have to be performed on the job site or does engineering/permit work done in the office satisfy that requirement?
3. If the NOC is filed with county, do I have to request it from the contractor before filing an NOF or can I simply print it from the county website and file the NOF as required.
