This morning, Musing’s published a blog post I wrote titled “A Lien By Any Other Name Can Sound Just As Sweet.”

The article provides readers with a broad overview of the lien-like remedies available to them, as they differ based upon the classes of projects.   In large part, the article explains the difference between a traditional lien (filed against the property on private projects) and a “claim” type of lien (filed against a bond on a state and federal project).

Of course, this post only skims the surface, but sometimes, it’s the basic information that is needed to help folks understand the details.   And why is it important to understand these details?   The article on Musings concludes with that answer as follows:

Regardless of what class of project you’re working on, a lien-like remedy is probably available to you in the event of non-payment. However, it’s critical to understand the different remedies available at the onset of construction, for each remedy carries different pre-lien or pre-claim requirements.
