Preliminary Notices are a crucial aspect of the construction industry as they serve as a formal notification from a subcontractor or supplier to the property owner, general contractor, and other parties involved in a construction project. These notices are typically sent at the beginning of a project to inform all parties of the subcontractor or supplier's involvement and to protect their right to file a mechanics lien if payment is not received for their services or materials. By providing this notice, subcontractors and suppliers are establishing their legal right to seek payment for their work, even if the general contractor fails to pay them.Failure to send a Preliminary Notice can result in the loss of the subcontractor or supplier's right to file a mechanics lien, leaving them vulnerable to non-payment.
