Lien?

[mick1221]

This is a commercial building in Michigan, being renovated due to fire.
General contractor paid subcontactor for job. (In full.) Subcontractor subbed out the window job forthe building. Subcontractor never paid window contactor, now there is a lien and a lawsuit to foreclose. I can prove subcontractor was paid for windows, just didn't send it to the window contractor.

Window contractor filed his notice of furnishing 6 months after beginning work - (late) but a notice of commencement was never filed by GC.

Any suggestions?

What state and is the main contractor bonded?

 

[mick1221]

Building and contractor are both in Michigan

and no, probably not bonded, since I found out he's not licensed either.

That's a problem! Bonding/licensure stops these kind of problems. Again what state?

 

[mick1221]

This is in Michigan

Do you have a contract that spells out what the contractor has been already paid for and what his responsibilities are under the contract terms?
