Preliens: Estimating Contract Price

Greetings followers!  Today we provide another video from our November 20, 2013 Arizona Mechanic’s Lien Law seminar.  Today’s video addresses the question:

How do you complete a Prelien if you aren’t sure what will be the total contract price?

In this clip, an attendee asked how to fill out an Arizona Prelien Notice when doing jobs that have an open-ended price/cost.   You still need to submit a Prelien within 20 days of the start of the project in order to have the entire project be covered by a mechanic’s lien.   This video discusses estimating the total price, and when it may become necessary to supplement the Prelien.

Remember that a correctly completed and served Arizona Prelien Notice is a mandatory requirement to being able to record a mechanic’s lien in Arizona.  Mechanic’s liens are an important tool for contractors to have to ensure payment for they work they perform.
