MassachusettsMaking cabinets for hotels an essential business in Missouri?
MissouriI am a subcontractor in California. I sent a certified mail copy of Mechanics Lien to the GC and Owner, but have not yet filed with County Recorder. GC told me sending a Mechanics Lien Release will not affect my rights to file a Mechanics Lien at a later date (job is not complete yet), and wants to settle after job is complete in two weeks. Is this true? Will I have enough time to file a Mechanics Lien after job completion (especially with COVID-19 shut downs)?
CaliforniaWe used to send an employee with the papers, but with Covid we do not know what to do?
FloridaI am a HVAC contractor on a site for a future hotel. There is absolutely no way to follow the guidelines for social distancing or wearing the proper PPE because there are none available. No running water, 40-50+ people there daily, 2 portable bathrooms which are not clean, and having to share the same tools, space, etc with many others. The general contractor says we are essential and have to be there despite all the health risks we are putting ourselves in. Is there anything that can be done to protect ourselves without breaking contracts?
North CarolinaI have a problem because the contractor I was working for fired me before finishing the job, just because I was demanding the payment he owed me for the work done, after that he doesn't want to pay me and doesn't answer my calls and He hides me so as not to pay me and I need to recover my money, so I need the help of a lawyer to be able to do it.
Tengo un problema porque el contratista al cual le estaba trabajando me corrió antes de terminar el trabajo, solamente porque yo le estaba exigiendo el pago que me debía por el trabajo realizado, luego de eso no me quiere pagar y no me contesta las llamadas y se me esconde para no pagarme y necesito recuperar mi dinero por eso necesito la ayuda de un abogado para poder hacerlo.
ArkansasI’m in the middle of a kitchen remodel. I’ve been without a kitchen for over 6 weeks. Can they continue working on my kitchen. I keep getting the run around with the contractor. All they need to do is put in the countertop, sink and garbage disposal. The other things can wait, but I need water to my kitchen.
CaliforniaSelf employed general contractor do I count as essential business?
IdahoHow project manager can minimise the financial impact of their construction projects due to Covid 19 outbreak?
Alaska1. Do pre-liens "expire" if the subcontractor doesn't work on the job for 30, 60 or 90 days due to shelter in place orders / job site closures?
2. Other suggestions for subcontractors during this extraordinary period?
CaliforniaShould we consider opening new bank accounts for the PPP loan? This would help us keep these funds separate. The plan would be to deposit the loan funds into the new account, to get new checks for payroll/direct deposit payroll checks from the new account, etc. An alternative could be to move the money from the new account into our normal account each week for payroll. What is the best practice here, and what should we be concerned about?
CaliforniaI am opening a gym in january and my landlord told me I need to find out about the occupancy, how do I go about that?
MassachusettsI paid Rebath half of the $15k total for my bathroom remodeling project. ($7,500) they've not done any of the work. Still waiting for the rest of my materials.
They now say they are going bankrupt and I can either wait "a month or two until they're able to get to my project" or come get my materials they've ordered and have somebody else finish the project or wait until they file and my account will be included in the bankruptcy. I'm not sure what to do. I need the job done but don't trust them. Thanks for your time and help.
NevadaHi, I tried reaching out once before. Can you connect me to somebody in marketing regarding an opportunity for your company to join our upcoming in-person "Real Estate Technology" themed conference on December 14-16? My company, RETCON, is the organizer of the RETCON 2021 conference at the JW Marriott Marquis Miami in Miami, FL, which is one of the largest real estate technology conferences in the US with 1000+ execs and data leaders registered. Would your company be interested in exploring sponsorship opportunities including speaking roles and exhibitor booths? The event is coming up and space is limited! I can send sample attendee snapshots. https://retconference.com/2021/ -Thanks, Glenn
