When is the best time for a contractor to discuss liens and stop notices with a client?

Before the job starts
10 days after the job starts
20 days after the job starts
30 days after the job starts

The correct answer is: Before the job starts

The best time for a contractor to discuss liens and stop notices with a client is before the job starts. Engaging in this conversation during the initial stages of a project establishes clear communication and sets expectations around payment practices and contractor rights. It prepares the client for the potential legal implications associated with construction projects, such as how liens function and the purpose of stop notices. Addressing these issues beforehand can help to mitigate misunderstandings or disputes that may arise later in the project. It reinforces the idea that both parties understand their responsibilities and the ramifications of non-payment, creating a more transparent working relationship. Discussing these topics prior to the commencement of work allows the contractor to educate the client on the importance of timely payments and the steps that can be taken to protect both parties’ interests throughout the duration of the project.
