<div class="yiv6642812109MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D;">I think it would depend on whether or not the pre-con services include anything that would be considered “improving” the property under 713.01(14). If the contractor is just looking at the design documents and
pricing, then probably not. But if the contractor is out there digging (“excavating”) or other things that might be an “improvement,” then he would need to serve the NTO.

<div class="yiv6642812109MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D;">Sounds like the “pith of the lease” rule clearly applies – that the lease “requires construction of the project….” – but of course the lease not prohibiting liens helps too.

<div class="yiv6642812109MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D;">I have a contractor client that has signed an AIA-A133 for a project in Central Florida. The contractor’s client is the lessee of a long term ground lease upon which the project will be constructed. The ground
lease has no prohibition on liens and requires construction of the project. Precon work has commenced under the A133. The GMP Amendment (indicating commencement of the construction phase) has not been prepared or signed. To preserve its lien rights against
the fee simple interest of the Landlord, does the contractor need to serve a NTO on the Landlord within 45 days of commencing precon work or can that wait until the construction phase commences with the execution of the GMP Amendment.</span></div>
