Bond Claims on Construction Jobs
by Scott W Lee, CCE, Attorney at Law, VP NACM BCS
I as I speak with people in the industry, I find that fewer people are aware that bond claims may also be available.
A bond is similar to a guarantee. It is a third party saying if Joe doesn't take care of this, I will. There are two types of bonds on construction projects: 1) the performance bond; and, 2) the payment bond. You will likely be more interested in the payment bond. View full article

Intent to Lien Letter - A Weapon of Choice
by Mark Jones, Geneva Rock Products, Inc.
Think of the excitement you create when you mail a certified letter. The anticipation of seeing who would send a certified letter, soon turns to dissolution and frustration when they see it is a Notice of Intent to Lien their property. Nine of out ten, you will get some type of response. Unfortunately, they are rarely positive, but it is a response nonetheless. As credit professionals we sometimes create challenges for ourselves in order to get results.
The questions we need to ask ourselves are: 1) what is our objective; and 2) when do we take action to be most effective
Our main objective is to make as much noise to the property owner, general contractor or subcontractor, and anyone else who will listen, to let them know you are not getting paid. Then follow up with the necessary legal action required to protect the assets of your company. View full article
