Common lien & bond claim issues we see in DuPage County
Issue 01
Data center & mission-critical change-order disputes
Aggressive schedules on DuPage data center projects often produce undocumented change orders that complicate lien valuation.
Issue 02
Tier-3 supplier notice strategy
Long subcontract chains on suburban commercial projects make the 770 ILCS 60/24 90-day notice harder to time correctly.
Issue 03
Bond claims on village and school district work
DuPage municipalities and school districts routinely require bonds — claims must be made under 30 ILCS 550, not the Mechanics Lien Act.
Issue 04
Lien waiver enforceability
Owner-side conditional and unconditional waiver forms used in DuPage commercial closings are frequently broader than expected.
Statutory references are illustrative and not legal advice. Every project's facts and deadlines must be evaluated individually.
