[RPPTL-constructionlaw] Lien Law Query

[Croom, Janet]

Query:  Cautious GC wants to protect self/owner from material suppliers
claims.  Subs request a deposit for materials they have to buy on a
project.   GC wants release of lien from supplier.  Some subs are
resisting furnishing a release of lien from supplier, either for deposit
or for full payment to suppliers.  This issue comes up when suppliers,
in the ordinary course of business, do not ship material directly to a
specific job site at a specific address and do not have access to
information contained on a NOC.  Ex:  carpet supplier to flooring sub
who ships carpet to flooring sub under subcontractor order.  I know the
basic law on this issue, but from a practical standpoint, are any of you
running into this type of issue, and if so, what resolution are you
working out for your GC/client?  In compliance with WWAD?!, please email
me directly, and not "reply to all".  Thanks!
