Anyone engaged in a construction project should be familiar with what a materialmens' lien is. A materialmens' lien, sometimes referred to as a supplier's lien or mechanic's lien, is an important protection for subcontractors and materials suppliers on a construction project. It provides for a lien to be placed on the property if the subcontractor or materials' supplier is not paid by the general contractor.
Property owners should understand construction claim deadlines
The ability to bring a claim for construction defects is important for any building owners who have discovered defects on their property. Because there are also important timelines and deadlines associated with bringing a claim for construction defects, it is important to understand what those are and what the laws are in the state the property owner is seeking to bring the claim in.
