Construction Lien Laws
Understanding construction documentation is critical to protecting your property and avoiding costly disputes. In this webinar, we’ll review key documents including the Notice of Commencement, Notice to Owner, and different types of lien waivers—what they are, why they matter, and how they impact contractor and supplier payments. Participants will learn important timelines, signature requirements, and best practices for managing these forms during a project. We’ll also discuss real-world examples of what can go wrong when the proper paperwork isn’t in place, along with practical reminders such as obtaining a list of subcontractors, reviewing DBPR resources, and when performance and payment bonds may be worth considering.
