Great write-up about construction laws. I work for Premier Windows and the Maryland Mechanics’ Lien Law has a few poignant issues. For one, they have extremely strict policies for filing and timing. If I remember correctly, one must receive a lien notice within 120 days of the last day of construction on any given project. Is North Carolina’s law similar to this?

Hi John – Thanks for comment and for visiting our site. I don’t actually know the answer to that question. May I recommend researching your question or posing your question over on Melissa Brumback’s North Carolina Construction Law Blog: http://constructionlawnc.com/. Melissa does a really terrific job on her blog, and is usually responsive to these types of inquiries.

Do you know if non-licensed consultants are eligible to file a mechanics lien in NC? Would environmental consulting services be considered labor? Would the environmental consultant be considered “any person who performs labor”?

Great information and well written. Thanks.
Leins in NC are easier than other states.
