A mechanics’ lien claim is a statutory remedy for contractors, subcontractors and material suppliers who have not been paid for construction work or building materials they have provided in connection with the construction of a building or other improvement to real property. A mechanics’ lien claim, if successful, results in the establishment of a lien against the real property (the land and buildings thereon) where the work or materials were provided. The lien can be used to force a sale of the real property as a source of monetary funds to satisfy the amount due for the construction work or the building materials provided. One of the obvious advantages of a mechanics’ lien claim is that one does not have to have a contract with the owner of the property in order to attempt to establish a lien on the real property. However, mechanics’ lien claims have strict timing requirements for notice and asserting claims that must be complied with in order to take advantage of this powerful payment remedy.
