What is a Construction Lien?
What is a Mechanic Lien?

Effectively, both of these lien terms refer to a legal claim that contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, and other construction-related parties can place on a property to secure payment for work performed or materials supplied. It allows them to place a lien on the property they have worked on, which can be enforced if they are not paid.

Why are Construction Liens Necessary? What Are The Risks?

Construction liens are necessary to protect the interests of contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers in the construction industry. Without these liens, there would be an increased risk of non-payment and financial losses for those involved in providing labor and materials. Construction projects often involve significant investments, and a failure to receive payment can lead to financial hardships, disrupted cash flow, and even bankruptcy for smaller companies. Construction liens help mitigate these risks by providing additional and significant legal recourse for unpaid debts.
