I rebuilt a restaurant I finished the project 5 months ago. My keeps saying the checks in the mail.
What can I do?
WyomingOn the lien template, it asks for labor/materials first delivered date. We wanted to clarify if this is date we ship products out or the date of confirmed delivery at customer’s location. The reason I ask is because our ERP currently is set up with a field to input product ship date but the delivery date is not easily accessible without manually pulling up packing slips and tracking confirmations to confirm exact delivery date. If it is necessary that we confirm delivery date, we will need more ERP development work and that is why we wanted to clarify the date needed or if we could use the ship date. And let’s say we enter a date that is a few days off from (ship or delivery date, whichever is the required date), will this put our lien rights at risk?

What can I do?
WyomingWe are a subcontractor on a hotel project in WI. We have not been paid on our last two months of work but did not file a preliminary notice at the start of the project. Is there anyway to still file a lien?
Thanks,
Amy
WisconsinMy company filed the preliminary notice a year after starting the public works 33rd St Pipeline Project and now the Subcontractor isn’t paying invoices or returning communications. Will filing a stop notice be good? Preliminary notice delivered more than 30 days ago
CaliforniaOur contracts are signed using one name, but our customer makes payments to an alternative name for our company. Should we list the name we used for the contract on our payment documents or display the alternative name since that appears on the checks? For context, we will be sending notices in states such as Ohio and Florida.
OhioWe bill our customer for materials purchased prior to our first day on site. Should we send our Notice of Furnishing when we first bill our customer or when we are first on site?
OhioWhat is the next option if we missed deadline for preliminary notice in the state of North Carolina
North CarolinaWe're planning on having jobs (time and materials) in response to Hurricane Laura in Louisiana. Does Louisiana loosen up the requirements for the Notice of Contract since the state is in the state of emergency?
LouisianaWe have done the original prelim notices according to the contract amount.
let's say the contract was $100,000.00 and we have been paid that amount.
We have several change orders for the project that total over $50,000.00 do we need to do additional prelim's?
CaliforniaSupplier company, need to understand the State of Tennessee, as I know the laws have changed. Like most states you file a preliminary notice. TN, is that just after the 90 days of non-payment?
TennesseeMy company sent a "Notice to Owner" via certified return receipt for a project in Washington state. The postman delivered the letter without requiring them to sign. The GC on this project has now declared bankruptcy so my employer is wanting to lien. Is no signature okay from the notice or should I send it again to try to get a signature.
Washingtonhello, i'm a subcontractor (warehousing, trucking and install of FF&E) and i have been trying to get a change order out of the GC since January (with no response at all)....today they asked for close out documents and I told them I will not do it until i get the change orders and we are paid on them. they finally answered me today and said the owner has had them since February and has not approved them. can i start the lien process? what it is for is additional warehousing and additional trucks.
CaliforniaWe are a mold remediation company in MA and performed work in RI. Customer is refusing to pay the balance ($14K). Remediation does not require licensing or building permits; we removed moldy building materials, insulation, etc and cleaned all surfaces. Since this work does not require licensing/registration/permits, are we be able to file a mechanics lien? We do have a home improvement license in MA.
Rhode Islandwe are having some trouble at the office.
when we have a customer open a sales order for material we create a prelim for $400 dollars on top of the original sale price. Once we invoice & get paid we technically consider the project done. There is cases where the customer returns and wants to add more material to that same project because it hasn't closed on their end and we also haven't given a final release. In this case we create a new sales order normally we don't prelim again. I was under the impression that the original prelim can be used to cover the amount currently open as long as there is not a significant amount over the initial value. Now someone said to me that I would have to Ammend the prelim because it is not ok to use the same prelim since the lump sum of both sales orders (the closed & Open) is significantly over the initial price. So with that being said could you advise if it is necessary to take into account the total (close & open) amounts into consideration and create a new ammended prelim or will the initial prelim cover me on all transactions currently open?
