CA Preliminary Notice
I received a C.A. Preliminary Notice, in compliance with CA Civil code section 3097 or 3098. And I have a Prelim Notice No. issued to me. However, the estimate of the total price of material stated on the C.A. Preliminary Notice is more than the individual quote issued to the me (the owner). Should I worry about this or it does not matter because it is not an actual Lien.
Re: CA Preliminary Notice
No, I wouldn't worry about that overage, provided it is a reasonable estimate of the project and any change orders you might authorize during the project.
However, if a mechnics lien is filed and the "Claim of Lien" provided therewith includes amounts for materials not provided or services not rendered, then the entire lien will be forfeited by operation of law. THAT'S the time to scruntinize the numbers.
Good luck!
