When a property owner undertakes a construction project, chances are that he looks forward to enjoying his new (or improved) property. Drawings in hand, he anticipates the day when his project will be complete and ready for occupancy.

The owner’s priorities are clear: complete the project on time and on budget, hopefully without intervening disruptions to the construction process. To achieve these goals, an owner should familiarize himself with the legal risks and remedies attendant to the construction process. In particular, the owner should be aware of the Mechanics’ Lien Law of 1963 (“Lien Law”), which allows unpaid contractors and subcontractors to file a lien against property in order to ensure the payment of debts owed to them in relation to the construction.
