Who is eligible to benefit from a mechanics' lien?

  1. Manufacturers of construction materials and subcontractors

  2. Clients and subcontractors

  3. Architects and subcontractors

  4. Manufacturers of construction materials and clients

The correct answer is: Architects and subcontractors

The eligibility to benefit from a mechanics' lien is primarily designed to protect those who contribute labor, materials, or professional services to a construction project. In this context, architects and subcontractors play significant roles in the construction process. Architects contribute design services, plans, and oversight, all of which are critical for the successful completion of a project. Subcontractors provide specialized labor and materials, further adding value to the overall construction work. Mechanics' liens ensure that these groups can secure payment for their contributions, even if the property owner fails to pay the general contractor. While manufacturers of construction materials and clients do have roles within the construction process, the primary focus of mechanics' liens lies in those who directly influence the construction's outcome through active labor or services—hence, architects and subcontractors are the most relevant beneficiaries of a mechanics' lien.
