We hired a General Contractor/Builder to design a home. They've failed to meet any timelines they set and are unwilling to provide evidence of the the services delivered (such as the survey or engineering). We cancelled our engagement in writing . There was a deposit for survey, engineering, design review fees, and home design. The only work for which we have an indication of completion is the design review.. How long do we have to wait after terminating the engagement to demand a refund for services that were not delivered?...Read More

How do we proceed....Read More

A Client has an outstanding invoice. They paid in full several invoices prior to the outstanding one, and have paid in full an invoice after the outstanding one. The holdup with the outstanding invoice is that some work was an emergency Change Order which we were told we would be paid for. Client is now saying the CO work was for Phase 3&4 work which the bank has not funded, but we accomplished under the Phase 1&2 contract. Client reluctantly paid a % of the outstanding invoice so we would keep working. Question: Client wants a conditional waiver for the percent of the outstanding invoice they paid. If I give them a conditional waiver for that % does that clear them of any responsibility for the remaining invoice amount?????? ...Read More

I am a contractor operating as an S Corp. I filed a lien against client who didn’t pay despite the work done well and completed. Deadline passed at this point. Just realized I put my own name as Claimant, not my company name. Was this a mistake? Could it invalidate my claim? The client job contract signed had my signature on it (same signature as on the lien paper)....Read More

However the project did not pass inspection until last Friday and we returned to complete correction the following day. I'm wondering what day counts as the last day of work. Considering our portion of the project was not completely finished until last Saturday. ...Read More
