We get this question a lot, which lead to us blogging on the subject earlier this year in a post titled: Is My Project Private, Federal, State…Or Something Different? It’s an important piece of information to know about your project since it will effect what types of notices and claims you can make, and when you must make them.
Now, to further address this frequently asked question, we have generated a chart that provides illustrative examples of construction projects.,, and identifying the likely “project type.” Of course, this chart provides illustrative examples only, and your project may not fall within these generalized guidelines.
| If You’re Working On A… | It’s Probably A… |

| Multi-Family House / Condo | Residential |
| Restaurant, Grocery Store, Shopping Mall, Business Establishment | Commercial |

| State-owned Land (county park, county courthouse, county government building, etc.) | State |
