Preliminary notice and bond claims on the same job

Public and bonded private jobs tempt desks to skip lien calendars because “there’s a bond.” Notice deadlines still exist, and missing them can shrink or wipe the bond claim path.

Track preliminary notice the same way you track a private lien: who must receive it, by when, and what proof of service lives in the file. Put those dates beside the unpaid balance before month-end.

Use a multi-state mechanics lien and notice deadline calculator when the bonded job sits next to private work for the same GC. Different rules, same customer — do not collapse the rows.
