Notice Filing
We file notices for you

We can file notices of commencements in Superior Court for you on larger projects that add requirements to subcontractors or suppliers who lack a direct contractual agreement with the general contractor

Under law, any supplier or subcontractor who has provided labor, goods or materials to a job site must notify general contractors in writing within 30 days.

In addition, the law requires the filing of the Notice of Commencement in the county Superior Court where the job site is located and the display of the notice at the job site.

We can help you meet legal requirements with polite, professional, straightforward, easy-to-read notices and letters that inform all parties that you have delivered labor or materials to the job site.

Notice of Commencement

Notices of Commencements are filed for General Contractors on larger projects that add additional requirements to sub-contractors or suppliers that do not have a direct contractual agreement with the General. Quality General Contractors will file a Notice of Commencement so that they can be notified of other subs that have been on the job. The General is required to be notified in writing within 30 days by any supplier or sub-contractor that has provided labor, goods or materials to their jobsite. The Commencement Notice is filed in Superior Court in the County where the jobsite is located and should be displayed on the jobsite.

Services Include

Polite, Professional, easy to read notices and letters to simply notify the other parties that you have delivered labor or materials to the jobsite. The intent is to professionally satisfy the notice requirements without alarming anyone.

*Important Note for Sub-Contractors or Suppliers:
If a Notice of Commencement is filed and you do not file a Notice to Contractor within 30 days of providing your service or labor, you will lose your lien rights!

 

The Rules in a Nutshell

The law was designed to level the playing field by allowing the General Contractor to know who has delivered labor or materials to the job by the notice requirements. Subcontractors that did not contract directly with the general and suppliers to subcontractors must comply in order to maintain their lien rights and insure that they will be paid because the General is aware of the services provided. Previously, subcontractors or suppliers may not have been paid because the General was unaware that they had provided enhancements to the project and the original subcontractor had absconded with the money. Occasionally, a Property Owner or General may go broke and the Notice of Commencement will provide the Bonding Company. The original lien law will prevail, if a Notice of Commencement is not filed.
