Getting Paid in Construction
Introduction
For contractors and suppliers, cash flow is king. Unfortunately, the construction industry is notorious for payment disputes and delays. Mechanics liens are a powerful tool to ensure you get paid for the work you perform. In this article, we explain how liens work, the strict deadlines involved, and how to protect your bottom line on every project.
1. Why It Matters
