We are a subcontractor company, we entered into a contract with another Sub to provide Material only. We have invoiced for all of product, though we still have some on site that has not been delivered. We have invoices going back to August 2022 through January 2023 that are unpaid. The one time I was able to get them on the phone, he informed that he did get paid by the owner and payment would be sent. He has since stopped responding. Because this is a product only contract, do we still have lien rights? If we do, do we send the intent to lien to our customer as well as the owner?
WyomingThe state of TN. Says a subcontractor can’t lien.
It also says:
similar to North Dakota’s. Those who “furnish materials” may file a mechanics lien, and “Furnish materials” means:
To supply materials that are intended to be and are incorporated in the improvement;
To supply materials that are intended to be and are delivered to the site of the improvement and become normal wastage in construction operations;
To specially fabricate materials for incorporation in the improvement and, if not delivered to the site of the improvement, are not readily resalable by the lienor.
If a Subcontractor also supplied fabricated materials and Invoiced that material separately can he file a lien for the amount of materials?
TennesseeIm a subcontractor worked on a large construction project, I finished my work on the job July 2022, but havent been paid, and customer isnt taking call or returning email.
FloridaLevelset filed a lien on a property a year ago, do I need to renew that lien or enforce the lien?
TexasI'm a contractor and I had filed a mechanics lien on 12/30 /2022. My dead line to enforce the lien expired 30 days ago . Is there anything I can do to reinforce the lien or can I file a new lien ?
This owner still owes me over$28,000
CaliforniaThe claim is in CO. The mechanics lien deadline is 4 months as we provided materials and labor. The 120 day is today and we missed this customer to get the NOI sent already. Can I postmark the NOI today and then file to request the lien extension?
ColoradoI am a subcontractor working on a commercial job in Arizona. My GC has terminated my contract without cause- (personal dispute) but the there is already a considerable amount of money already due. The pay app was due April 1st. Although I realize it is not extremely late, I am concerned about the termination of the contract and whether or not my lien rights are affected. This GC is notorious for NOT PAYING. And now I have spoken with another sub on this job, who has told me the GC is past due on 100K+ to them. This has me concerned. I do not want to miss any deadlines and lose my lien rights. Also, I should mention, the GC HAS been paid by the owner for the payment which would include my pay app. The owner is paying on time, and yes, my pre-liens were filed timely.
ArizonaI am several days past the period when I would have needed to have filed a bond claim. I have not filed any other documents on this project such as a preliminary notice or a notice of completion . The hiring party is the General contractor and I am a material supplier. This is a state/county job.
CaliforniaWe have been working on collecting the balances for several invoices since we completed the project. Once the general contractor stopped answering our calls we reached out directly to the customer. They informed us that they would escalate our issue up the chain but we haven't received any response from them. The general contractor has filed for Chapter 7....can we continue to put pressure on the customer in which our work allows them to function?
TexasI am a subcontractor working on a commercial project. My GC and I had a personal dispute, (the GC failed to pay me for 5 months on an unrelated job for the State of Arizona, and my "letter of intent to lien" gave notice to all interested parties of their failure to pay their subcontractor- this resulted in d the GC will no longer be hired for any future projects for the State of Arizona) therefore, in turn, the GC retaliated for my request for payment by terminating the remainder of all contracts with me in progress, (all unrelated) as well as any future contracts. However, there have been two payment applications already submitted for completed work. What are my lien deadlines, and are they affected by the early termination of our contract without cause?
ArizonaWe missed the deadline to file a pre-lien on a commercial project that we supplied material to. If we file a mechanic's lien before our final deadline, will it still be valid if we didn't send the pre-lien?
OklahomaWe just started this project and want to make sure we protect our contract.
CaliforniaAs a materials supplier, we often do not know when our customer is done ordering product from us for a job. So for the job finish date, would we simply use the date the last product order was delivered?
TexasThey refuse the certified mail and opening emails in an attempt to not be notified. Im approaching my 4 month deadline, and must enter the lien with the county clerk soon. May I do that despite them not “receiving” (more like refusing to accept) the lien notice?
ColoradoI am a subcontractor who provide a service based on a time and material agreement. All work that was requested was performed to the best of our abilities given the jobsite conditions. General contractor is refusing to pay, stating that the issue is not fixed, even though we have provided proof of work and copies of our written agreement for payment terms that GC did approve. Also provided proof that we told the GC prior what the jobsite conditions needed to be so we could preform the work, we were then asked to come and preform work. Assuming they were ready for us to come and preform the work we showed up and did what we could. Job is not complete and that was communicated that is due to lack of proper onsite conditions. Spoke to GC about unpaid invoice, GC commented that he would just bond around a lien if I filed one. This property has a homeowner so I am not sure if he can actually do that to avoid paying me. Work was performed 60 days ago. Should I file a notice of intent? Am I eligible to file the lien? I did file a prelien on this property upon starting the job.
