Preliminary Notice
All States
I have a contract to perform work on a project as a Subcontractor. Our contract states that " all work must be ready for the Subcontractor to complete all their work in one trip when the Subcontractor arrives on site." We were called, demanded and threatened with law suite, to come to the job and the GC did not have the job ready for the US ( the Subcontractor) to complete our work. The Site Superintendent assured us that the job would be ready when we arrived at the site. We got to the job 12:00 PM got our crew rooms and arrived on site at7:00. We are roofing contractors when we arrived the steel decking was not installed on the bar joist. The site super said his steel crew over slept and did not work last night. Short story. When we billed for the extra trip, overtime per diem, the GC is now saying the invoice is extra ordinarily excessive. Looking for advice to lien property. For extra Costs Roofing Contractor Gary
MissouriHello. We're doing business in California.
When we have a contract with the Owner of a job, do we need to send a Preliminary Notice to the owner? Or does the contract take the place of the notice?
Additionally, if there is a bond on such a job, and I send a notice to the Surety Company, do I list the Owner and General Contractor on the notice, even if I'm not mailing notices to those entities?
Thank you!
CaliforniaI provided labor on a residential structure as an employee working under a subcontractor who had a contract with the general contractor. Its been over 8 days since I provided my services and I havent gotten paid because the general contractor is refusing to pay the guy who hired me. Am I entitled to file an Oregon Lien to get paid for my labor? Am I required to serve the owner of the property with the Notice of Right to Lien even though its been over 8 days since I worked on the project?
OregonGood morning.
We own a Fence company in California. We have a client who has owed $8,950.00 since 03/29/2021
I have emailed and call them repeatedly and get nothing but the run around.
Can I file a lien?
CaliforniaWe were contracted to haul a piece of equipment from Montana to Nevada and drop it off at a construction site. We did and invoiced the owner and he has refused to pay our invoice.
NevadaThis is a NC question. What if the general contractor did not file a Preliminary Notice on a private renovation contract with a residential homeowner. The renovation costs are backed by a lender, however there is an overage amount due to change orders that the homeowner is personally responsible for and so far is not paying.
Is this a total bar to being able to file a mechanic's lien on the property?
North CarolinaI started remodeling a house for a contractor. We only have a verbal agreement on the work im supposed to do and he keeps adding more work and I'm thinking he's assuming I'm doing that for the same price that we discussed I told him that wasn't the case and he said we'll talk about it and he said that he would be fair I'm thinking he's not going to be so fair so when I write up my bill and mind you a lot of things I not going to charge him for but some things I am so I'm wondering do I need to and can I file a pre lien if I've already started the work I'm in Minnesota
MinnesotaI received preliminary lien notice within 20 days of first lumber delivery. The contractor did not provide lender information to supplier even though contractor signed an agreement with lender.
Lumber company asked me when I inquired if bill was paid. I provided lender information to lumber company and preliminary lien was sent 5 weeks after first lumber delivery to the lender. When does 20 days start?
CaliforniaWe are a construction company providing work to a California HOA condominium. Our contract is with the HOA. Do we file a single preliminary notice and lien for the HOA or one for each condo owner? And would we need a name for each condo owner if the multiple route is needed?
CaliforniaIf we did not receive a 20 day preliminary notice from our contractor and/or his subs can they later file a lien if the job was not completed and a cessation notice was given to the contractor due to the fact that he is not a licensed contractor in California and the work completed was done improperly and without any permits?
CaliforniaI am a general contractor we did work last week and now we can’t get a hold of anybody to get paid and there’s a new owner on July 1
MissouriThe contractor overcharged me, did poor quality work and I'm refusing final payment. No official contract was made
VirginiaI'm the licensed contractor contracted for a job, but we aren't getting paid. Do we file an NTO and then put a lien on the project? Or do I just send a notice of nonpayment?
FloridaI am a subcontractor working on an FDOT (Florida Department of Transportation) contract in Florida. My customer is a General Contractor who provides Asphalt/Construction on Florida Highways and my business is to provide sodding for this contracts once construction is complete. Since this is a subcontract to a contract that is state funded, am I required to, or even allowed to serve a Notice to Owner, or file a lien for non-payment?
FloridaI have filled out the Notice of Subcontract and am preparing to send it to the registry of deeds in Massachusetts. Do I have to have the Notice of Subcontract served to the relevant parties *before* I file it at the Registry of Deeds?
