A Preliminary Notice is a document that is sent at the beginning of a project, that is used to obtain lien rights. These documents allow you to obtain mechanic lien rights and can be used to help ensure you get paid on a project.
1. These notices are required in most states.
2. Failure to send a preliminary notice at the beginning of a project eliminates your chances of being able to take legal action in the event you are not paid.
When you are owed money, this is where you should turn to first. It will demonstrate to the party that owes you money that you are serious, and, should you not receive payment in full within seven (7) days, that you will file a Mechanic’s Lien and/or a Payment Bond Claim to protect your rights.
Depending upon where you are located, your State may require you to provide this notice prior to the filing of a Lien or Payment Bond Claim. Don’t waive your rights, don’t accept less than what you are owed, file today.
Nearly every construction contract requires a Project participant to file a Notice of Delay in the event that its work is delayed. It states that you have been delayed on the Project, that you are requesting additional time for the performance of your work, and that you reserve the right to seek additional compensation in relation to the delay. Sending a Notice of Delay can be critically important in not only protecting yourself from delay claims (and a liquidated damages assessment), but also in preserving your rights to additional compensation.
Construction contracts vary as to:
(1) When and how a Notice of Delay must be submitted,
(2) the contents of the Notice of Delay, and
(3) the entitlement to additional time for performance and additional funds
Are you performing work that is outside of your contractual scope of work? Has your request for a change order been denied? Then you should submit a Notice of Disputed Work prior to performing any work outside of your contractual scope.
Nearly every construction contract requires a Project participant to file a Notice of Disputed Work prior to commencing with change order work. It states that you will be performing certain work under protest and that you are reserving your right to additional compensation for such work. Without filing a Notice of Dispute work you will likely waive your right to additional compensation.
Construction contracts vary as to:
(1) when and how a Notice of Disputed Work must be submitted,
(2) the contents of the Notice of Disputed Work, and
(3) the entitlement to additional time for performance and additional funds.
A partial lien waiver is normally submitted with a progress payment application.
It releases your lien and claim rights in relation to the work covered by the corresponding payment application.
A Final lien waiver is normally submitted with a final payment application.
It releases your lien and claim rights in relation to the project.
Unfortunately, many subcontractors and suppliers never get to file a claim because nobody will provide them with the bond information.
ConstructionDisputes.com makes finding the bond information easy so you can file your claim and get paid. You enter relevant project information and we will take care of the rest.
Has your customer refused payment or ignored your requests? The payment bond protects you if you file on time; don’t wait to file! All you have to do is supply us with the key project information and we’ll take care of the rest.

Dear Sir/Madam:
Please be advised that [[filer_company_name]] hereby notifies you of its Notice of Intent to File a Lien and/or Bond Claim in relation to the above-referenced Project.
[[filer_company_name]] provided the following labor, equipment,
and/or materials for the benefit of the Project:
[[owing_description]]
The total amount due and owing as of the date of this correspondence is: $ [[owing_amount]]
If the total amount due is not paid within seven (7) days of your receipt of this correspondence, a Construction Lien, commonly referred to as Mechanic’s Lien, will be filed. The filing of the Lien may have significant legal and economic consequences. If the labor, material, and/or equipment were provided for the benefit of real property, the real property will be encumbered by the Lien. On public improvement projects, the Lien will likely result in the owner withholding the full value of the Lien from subsequent payments.
Additionally, if the Project has a payment bond, [[filer_company_name]] will be filing a payment bond claim with the appropriate bonding company. The filing of a payment bond claim may also carry significant legal and economic consequences, such as the imposition of personal liability on the bond principal.
In the event relevant Federal, State, or Local Laws require advance Notice of an Intent to File a Lien and/or a Payment Bond Claim, this Notice shall satisfy such requirement.
In order for you to avoid the filing of a Lien and/or Payment Bond Claim, payment of the total amount due must be made within seven (7) days of your receipt of this correspondence.
Govern yourself accordingly.

ConstructionDisputes.com is providing the Project with the necessary tools for payment success. Through our platform, the Project participants can better manage the project, avoid delays, facilitate payments, and prevent the filing of mechanic’s liens and encumbrances that may otherwise be avoidable.
Project transparency is key.
Project delays are an unfortunate reality for many construction projects. However, delays are often avoidable when the key Project participants are made aware of actual or expected delays on a timely basis.
Project payment issues have doomed far too many construction projects. When a Project participant does not have the tools necessary to collect funds that are due and owing, the entire Project suffers. We not only provide the required tools, but we provide Project payment transparency.
All of the documents created and filed at ConstructionDisputes.com are visible to all of the Project participants. This creates much needed Project transparency, facilitating the timely resolution of Project delays and disputes.

1. The Subcontractor (a) acknowledges receipt of payments equal to the Total Payments Received to Date set forth above, and (b) certifies that: (i) said amount represents payment in full for all amounts due for all labor performed and materials furnished by the Subcontractor in connection with the Project and the Subcontract set forth above; (ii) the amounts set forth above are true and correct; (iii) it has no claims for additional costs or claims for any extras or additions for labor and
