    Compliance & Preliminary Notices

    Streamlined preliminary notice and lien-compliance services — request as a one-off filing or as an ongoing program.

    We help protect your company's receivables by streamlining the preliminary notice process on commercial and public construction projects. Through a comprehensive, hands-on verification and documentation process, we coordinate the preparation and mailing of preliminary notices using reliable project information and current statutory forms.

    Clients can request these services on a project-by-project basis — for a single notice on one job — or set up an ongoing compliance program where we monitor each new project, track statutory deadlines, prepare and serve notices, and maintain proof-of-mailing records on your behalf.

    Available on demand: preliminary / pre-lien notices, notices of intent, monthly notices, contractor's affidavits and sworn statements, lien waiver coordination, and tracking of state-specific notice and recording deadlines.

    FAQ

    Frequently asked about compliance & preliminary notices

    Don't see your question? Reach out directly — we'll respond promptly.

    What information do you need to send a preliminary notice?
    Project owner, general contractor, project address, your scope of work or materials supplied, your contract amount (or estimated amount), and your first day on the job. We handle ownership verification, statutory form selection, and certified mailing from there.
    Can I just request one notice for one project?
    Yes. Many clients start with a single notice on one job. Others set up an ongoing program where we monitor every new project, track deadlines, and serve notices automatically. Both are available.
    How do you track deadlines across multiple states?
    Each state has its own notice and recording windows — we maintain a 50-state deadline matrix and apply the right rules per project so nothing is missed.
    Do you keep proof of mailing?
    Yes. Certified mail receipts, return receipts, and statutory forms are retained and made available to you on request — critical evidence if a claim is later disputed.
