Mechanic's or Construction Lien Waiver
|
The homeowner must keep track of all suppliers, workers and subcontractors involved in his construction project who may have a claim against his property.
In some states, any such third parties must provide you with a Preliminary Notice, without which they forfeit the right to file a lien against your property. This is simply a notice stating that there are monies due and if not paid, then they will have a right to file a claim.
For more information on how the homeowner can protect himself, please refer to our Lien Waiver page. A free general contractor agreement and additional information is available on our General Contractor page.
The construction lien waiver form supplied here is for progress payments made during the construction. A separate Lien Waiver upon Final Payment must be completed at the end of the project.
