Hello! I am a subcontractor working under a contractor. I do not do construction work, but provide tree removal services. In order to get paid, I've been asked to provide a sworn statement (in MI) along with my other paperwork. I don't know how to fill it out? I had no subcontractors under me. Just my employees. Do I list them? They aren't under contract per se, so I don't know how to fill in the form. ...Read More

On this commercial AIA project since Jan, standard AIA stuff we've seen before, including the conditional lien waiver. Now they want an unconditional waiver in order to get our first payment (after 2 other subcontractors have recently damaged the work we've done and had to fix/ redo). I would like to stop all work on this project, but I know I can't :-( What are my options? Thanks!...Read More

A potential client advised she wanted to o an addition to her existing home (in California) but ended up scraping the project once the permits and compliance issues became 'too much'. I am curious what the remedy is in this case if the contractor had already done a significant amount of pre-construction work. Would the contractor be able to bill for the services provided even though the customer stopped the project? ...Read More

We are a small stair company that works as a subcontractor on very large jobs in NYC. We do our best to submit the pencil reqs accurately and on time but if there is an issue or disagreement about payment it gets bounced out and cannot be re-submitted until the following month. It takes a lot of time and effort to constantly chase money from these contractors. When it does get through we usually don't see the money for at least 45 days, sometimes longer. Just looking for the best way to handle this....Read More

We are the General Contractor on a job with 3 Residential Properties. One is complete and we are working on the other 2. A new Architect has been hired by the owner to replace the original one and he wants Apps for Pay with signatures and ending dates and why we weren't doing this all along. The lendor on the 1st new residence, that is complete, never required this nor has any of our other clientele nor their legal council nor their architects, so our forms must be acceptable; so I'm a little confused with what his problem is. Can you help me?...Read More

I 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? ...Read More
