We have paid $220,000 and still have $67,000 to go. The GC did not provide us the DISCLOSURE STATEMENT REQUIRED FOR RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT. We did not know about Statutory Retainage and thus have not been withholding. How do I make up for this? I thought lien waivers up to this point from all subs and we would withhold 10% from this point forward. Or if will not provide lien waivers (pretty sure he will not) can we do 50% on the next 3 draws and 10% on each draw following... this would end with 10% of the contract price being retainage by the end of the build....Read More

This lady might be taking him to court. I'm not sure why she has so much anger in her! But, she cussed him out! ...Read More
My parents are in a small dispute with their contractor. There is no formal written contract - only a bid and then an oral agreement to proceed. There is a disagreement on the final amount owing so work has stopped and they have just given my parents a preliminary notice - this is after they have contacted an attorney, my parents have countered with a settlement etc. And of course, work started back in December. From what I read, am I correct in that because 1 - they did not have a written contract and 2 - they did not send the preliminary notice within the first 8 days of getting started, the contractor and his subcontractor will not be able to actually place a lien?...Read More
