i am a general contractor and we are owed money for balance on contract and extras that had to be made to get a certificet of occupancy , we where delay in meeting contract dates because 1 owner made changes and there were existing issues with the existing fire system that had to be made and that set us back three weeks over contract ,what can be done to collect on balance owed ?
Re: file a lien
Your lien rights depend on whether you had a written contract in place governing the work, and how long ago you last performed contract work on the project and/or when the notice of substantial completion was issued.
Also, did you obtain written extra work orders or approved change orders from the owner (or person in charge of authorizing payment) authorizing the extra work you performed? If the extra work was not specifically authorized, the owner might resist any lien/collection claim on grounds the amounts claimed are not due, even though the extra work was necessitated by owner changes.
