Construction Lien Waivers and Releases Basics (Part 3 of 4)

The Lien Zone Podcast: Construction Law, Contracts, Liens, Bonds & Collections

Construction lien waivers and releases are as essential to the construction process as hammers and nails. If you want to get paid, you need to give a release. If you have to pay someone, you better get a release. And in both cases, because words matter, understanding what they say and how they work is critical. In this episode, we will delve into the best practices for exchanging waivers and releases, exploring the differences between releases given and received by general contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers, and examine the importance of both narrow and broad release language and how it can hurt (or help) you. And, of course, we will talk about conditional releases.
