I understand that I cannot begin to properly utilize this program or begin to send notifications until I have a ‘start date’ listed. My question is this: what are the parameters that define a ‘start date’? …. Is it when we receive material for the project? …. Is it when we do our first billing for submittals? ….. Is it when we physically arrive on the job site? I sincerely appreciate your time and kind assistance....Read More

Hello, are there any special requirements for U.S. Government (Military) projects, or does it default back to the rules of the State in which the Military Base is located?
Specifically, we are an equipment vendor and installer, who was a subcontractor to a contractor working at a military base in the State of Ohio. (Military Base ==> Contractor A (holds contract with military base) ==> Our Company
Contractor A is refusing to pay us the remaining balance of our Invoice. Contractor A has credit and cash flow issues, and we've found out that it is defaulting on other payments for other projects.
We did not send a "Preliminary Notice" but we would like to go ahead with a Lien anyways.
Thank you!!

I was hired on a public project to replace the metal roof under a contract from my company to the township of summit county ohio board members. It was a parts and service building next to a police station that we agreed on a certain amount. I also put about 2000 extra dollars into the project. Long story short they swindled me and ended up not paying anything on 7700 dollar invoice. this was completed in June of 2020 and shortly after during my attempts to get paid I came down with covid and it kind of mixed everything I had going up. Im not sure if I even have the right to still pursue and I was hoping I could get some insight on those rights

We did this paint job twice. Our deadline to file a mechanics lien for the first job/time is due tomorrow and client reassures me they will pay next week. Despite telling me they would pay a day before. I was wondering since we did the job twice and the second time was done a few weeks ago. Are we still able to file a mechanics lien in case this client doesn't end up paying with the date the second job was started? Please let me know any advice is appreciated! ...Read More
