How Does A Mechanics Lien Get You Paid?

We’re glad you asked. We love the mechanics lien instrument because it helps contractors and suppliers manage and reduce bad debt.  It’s that simple.  The mechanics lien legal remedy is the best collections and legal tool available to those in the construction industry.

We’ve written a White Paper answering this question, titled:  5 Ways A Mechanics Lien Can Get You Paid.  Here is a list of the top five ways a mechanics lien filing can get your company paid:

You Get More Skin In The Game

Without a mechanics lien filing, you can only pursue your customer for payment. However, after filing a lien claim, you can also pursue the property owner, the general contractor and others. More people, more pockets, higher likelihood of getting paid.

Lien Freezes Project Funds

Once a mechanics lien hits the project, funds get frozen in an amount equal to satisfy your claim.

Property Becomes Your Payment Security

After all is said and done, when you have a mechanics lien filing on your side, the project jobsite is your collateral for payment.

Mechanics Lien Stops Property Movement

A mechanics lien filing prevents the property from being sold, transferred or refinanced. This can be a huge hassle for people, especially when lenders and construction loans are involved.

You Put Parties In Breach of Their Contracts

Generals agree with property owners to keep the property free of liens, tenants agree with landlords to not allow liens, and subs agree with general to not allow liens.  So, when a mechanic lien is filed, parties are placed in breach of contract, which increases pressure and results in payment.
