We are a sub tier subcontractor and our GC put a hold on funds for "project a". The reason is because the tier above us (who we are subcontracted to) will not provide an unconditional lien release for "project b". They are 2 different projects with 2 different contracts. I would think that this is illegal due to prompt payment laws? We have been paid in full including retention for project b. ...Read More

I own and live in my home in Florida. I am ordering Hurricane storm shutters through a contractor. The contractor has taken measurements of my windows and patio doors openings and will be ordering the construction of the hurricane storm shutters as per those measurements, and upon his receipt of the hurricane shutters will install the hurricane shutters on my home. I am going to be paying a 25% deposit (via charge card) to the Subcontractor payable to the GC upon my signing the Proposal (contract) For Service for this job. At the time of my paying the 25% deposit for the beginnings of the job / and for the contractor to place the order for the construction of the hurricane shutters which as specified in the Proposal for Service will be constructed by Eastern Metal, is that considered the beginning of the job and am I to request that the subcontractor sign a lien waiver and what about the company who is constructing the shutters that I have no contact with?? I would appreciate your recommendations. ...Read More

Good afternoon. Would it be acceptable to place $0.00 in the "upon receipt of" line to theoretically turn the waiver into an unconditional final waiver?...Read More

We are a contractor working in NY, but the administrative offices are in Georgia. Our customer(also a contractor) is requiring us to sign a unconditional waiver saying we have received the check although we do not have it in our hands. I have offered to send a conditional waiver to have them release the check followed up with the unconditional waiver after the check is received. They will only accept their waivers and say they don't have conditional ones. The contractor is willing to let us pick the check and exchange for the waiver at that time. However, we are in Georgia. Is this legal to not offer us a conditional waiver? ...Read More

I have a contract with a general contractor to due some tenant improvements. The GC is using subcontractors. I have asked for a copy off all conditional lien releases (from the subs) and proof of payment to the subs, before I pay my invoice to the GC. I feel that this is the correct process and best protects me for a GC not paying a sub. Is this what you would recommend? Thanks - Paul ...Read More

We received a letter from Albert Reatz's attorney of response in regards to the lien that was placed through your services. It states that they will counter sue me if I do not remove the lien. He is stating that I did not do the work that I did in fact complete (I have proof) and that I stole a power tool from him. Again, I have proof this was given to me from him by an eye witness. I am willing to give the power tool back if he pays me. The letter states if I give the tool back that he will only pay me $600 instead of the owed $2k that I am asking. ($5k is really what is owed.)...Read More

We're a subcontractor that did work on a project for a Native American tribe. The General Contractor is no longer responding to our emails or calls. There is still money owed to us which we have billed through signed change orders and a signed contract. We don't necessarily want to take action against the tribe as we know how complicated that would be. What we do want is some document directed toward the GC which we can also send to the tribe to get everyone's attention. What actions can we take from here that will get the GC to respond to us?...Read More
