Preliminary Notice
Washington

Washingtonlien? If not, what are their options when L & I has determined payment is owed?
WashingtonI was the subcontractor on a large single family home deck project in washington state. I have been paid very little by the GC. I provided mainly labor in the form of 3 laborers, and occasionally myself. I also provided some construction consultation/management and minimal materials (maybe $100). I have thus far been paid approx $5k and am still owed about $19k mainly labor. Approximately 50% of the yet unpaid labor was performed more than 60days ago. I would like to place a lien on the owner.
I read RCW 60.04.031 and it seems like I am required to give notice of right to clam a lien. Am I exempt? if so, is my lien still constrained by the 60day rule? The remaining unpaid balance on the GC's contract is approximately $11k. Is this the maximum I can lien for even if I do not have to provide notice?
Thanks
Washingtonif we sent out notices that we were going to be doing a job for someone, then find out we are not going to do it- do we need to send out a form stating that?
WashingtonWe are new to Levelset, and wanted to know if the model disclosure was something that could be done through our work authorization, or if it had to be it's own document. I do know that it is required to present one in Washington state, but we just need some clarification on what's acceptable as far as delivering the statement itself. Secondly, if it is sent out and not returned signed by the customer, what does that mean for our business? What repercussions are we at risk of?
WashingtonDid some minor excavation work for an insurance company we've been working with the last year. The company seems to be falling apart from the inside and this project is going on 80+ days since completion. Company has been notorious for paying late (they claim net 30) but this particular job has me on edge. Was looking into lien options but haven't filed anything yet. Suggestions?
WashingtonReading through the state legislative site, it appears that parties who are in contract with the prime contractor do not need to send Notices of Right to Claim Lien. Do first tier subs really not have to send those notices on a job?

WashingtonWe are the prime contractor crushing gravel for a customer. The owner of the pit where we are working is also the owner of the business we were contracted by. The project is bid over 200k. What is required in WA state (if anything), for pre-lien, notice to owner, etc.? If the situation arose, do we need to file a lien notice prior to lien?

WashingtonHello, We are stating a project for new construction residential community in WA State. We are providing labor and material associated with plumbing. Our company hired by General Contractor. We are ready to start process of issuing Preliminary Notice for this job. What address for project do we need to put? It has multiple lots. Thank you!
WashingtonHello,
We are a material supplier in Washington state.
If we create a preliminary notice for a subcontractor, then deliver the notice to the general contractor and the owner of the property have we satisfied the notice requirement for the general contractor as well? That is, if the general orders material for the same project as the subcontractor do we need to send an additional notice for the general?
WashingtonWe are a subcontractor to the GC we supply materials as well as install both are on the same contract right now.
WashingtonWe are material suppliers and we get hired by General contractors or we get hired by Subcontractors. And our owner wants to know if if we can send just to the General contractor not the sub. Or do we have to send to all the G.C. , Sub, and property owner.
WashingtonIn August 2018 our construction company was contracted to complete a ceiling repair on a commercial property. We did not have a signed disclosure statement, but have documentation (e-mails, texts) that prove there was a contract. We have not been paid. The General Contractor is telling us that the landlord is refusing to make final payment. The General Contractor indicated that we may need to file a lien in order to get paid. Do we have a case since the disclosure statement was never signed?
WashingtonWe are a material supplier for a public project in Washington state and we are supplying material for both the general contractor and the subcontractor. Unfortunately, we are having some difficulty collecting from the subcontractor and we did not send a preliminary notice to the general within the 10-day window. Since we are supplying material for both the general and the sub, do we still have rights to claim against the bond even though we did not send a preliminary notice in time?
