Which one is the AIA G701 change order form?
North CarolinaI’ve done a project for a Contractor and my project manager is refusing to pay at the end of the job completed
GeorgiaI am a homeowner. the contractor will not supply a copy of a contract that he states we are in breach of. The person at the dept of labor & industry assigned to the case states the scope of work is the contract. But when I called prior, to ask about it, the person answering said it is not the contract. Clearly it depends on who you talk to. Can you clarify MN contractor law?
MinnesotaI hired a GC who specialized in repairing fire damage homes. The original scope of the job was to fix a drainage pipe under the concrete slab. Since then the kitchen had to be torn out and tile floors removed etc... since there was going to be a delay on cabinets i asked if they could work ln the bathrooms. essentially turning into a whole house remodel. My issue is that the GC has asked for payment after completing maybe 30% of the actual work mostly demo and refilling the concrete slab and prepping it for vinyl flooring. My issue with this GC is the amount of time it has taken to complete jobs and tasks and do good work. I have found his workers lazy and did shoddy job on the tile shower and now i find that they didnt prep the floor properly where they cut the concrete. so the floors need to be redone. problem is they already put cabinets down. I want them to redo everything they didnt do right. now this will delay the project further and im just afraid they will do more shoddy work since we arent even finished yet. I have already paid this GC 16k to show him i can pay him. Hes asked for more payment but I have refused it until all jobs are completed and inspected that everything is done properly. After 3 months of watching how lazy and time wasting they are only to do a shoddy job with tiles not to mention the countless mistakes with water pipes etc... im now ready to find a new company.... what are my options besides asking him to redo the work?
CaliforniaI finished my work on 04/27/2021. The client promised to fulfill the payment within May when the property is sold. Until now I have not heard back from her. She currently does not answer my phone calls or reply to emails.
CaliforniaI am doing some research and read Dawn's article about construction delivery methods. As a follow-up, are you aware of any examples of architect-led DB projects in North Carolina, wherein the client or building owner is a public entity?
North CarolinaHi,
One of our clients wants to pay his bill finally. We want to in return give him a paper that says our lien has been released. How do we go about doing this? Our company is B & W Electric LLC
ColoradoDifference between work order and contract agreement
IndianaIf we are billing one owner, for one specific property but multiple jobs, should the prelims and liens be filed separately for each individual job or can they be bulked together? And when bulked together, can the job numbers be referenced as "EDP191-197" or do they have to be individually noted as EDP191, EDP192 etc.. ?
CaliforniaI am a private homeowner in the state of Georgia and I pulled a permit to build a garage on my property which I own. A subcontractor offered his services and at first did not want to sign a contract and started the work without one. I requested before my first payment that we sign a contract as I wanted to pay him in three draws. After refusing a couple of times he finally agreed and I paid him the first installment after the completion of the first stage. The second payment was to be paid after the siding was finished on the garage which he subcontracted out to another subcontractor. The work was completed yesterday except for two gaps in the upper portion of the roof which my husband requested that he fixed before his second draw. He wants his money ASAP and has threatened to put a lien on my property. What are my options enforcing him to finish the job before I pay him? And can he legally put a lien on my property if he hasn't completed the work?
Georgiahow does one measure consequential time required to operationalize after the lifting of the wso.
CaliforniaI provided design services to a client (FF& E), but she is refusing to pay the remaining balance. How do I go about collecting my $900 owed to me? She reached out to me through a neighbor, and confirmed that she wanted new furniture for her new build home. I told her it would $1,800.00, but that $900 would be due upfront and the remaining due at completion of researching materials. She did pay the original $900, but due to her own personal choices, she decided to halt all future work, therefor owing me $900. I sent her an invoice for unpaid services, and she replied back stating that she does not owe me.
TexasI am a subcontractor. We have contracts in Northern California, but because of the pandemic we have limited resources for employees. What can we do to negotiate this with the general contractors. There are lots of issues arising that we have never had before. Need a good attorney to talk to about the issues.
CaliforniaHello,
I have a quick question. Our company want's to hire an accountant contractor. However, we are not sure what we need legally in TX to be able to hire a contractor from over there for example, workers comp, insurances etc. Can you provide us some guidance or some resources?
Thank you,

TexasWe do not have a business license but we are a sole proprietor we were about to finish a job when the contractor terminate his ass and his reasoning was that work wasn't up to par when we went above and beyond to accommodate them they waited till we were just about ready to fill them and told us to leave the property that we no longer had work they owe over $25,000 we have a signed contract and all of the money we spent on the job on our bank card they actually put us in debt what to do ??
