In the old days when faxing was construction’s favorite communication tool, requesting a pre-lien or other construction notice meant printing a PDF, filling it out by hand, scanning it back in, and emailing it over. It worked — but it was slow, clunky, and easy to make mistakes that could cost you your lien rights.

Today it’s dramatically better.

Our secure online Service Request Portal replaces every paper form with a fast, guided, error-proof digital experience. Just log in, select the service you need, enter your project details, and we take it from there. No printing. No scanning. No back-and-forth emails. You get real-time status updates and statutorily correct documents every time.

Our portal makes it simple to order any of the following construction notices and documents:

  • Preliminary Notices (Pre-liens) — The critical first step that preserves your lien rights
  • Mechanic’s Liens — File your claim when payment isn’t coming
  • Bond Claims — Recover on public or private bond projects
  • 90-Day Bond Notices — Required on many bonded jobs to protect your claim
  • Lien Releases — Partial, full, or conditional releases (we create statutorily correct waivers for free)
  • Stop Notices — Freeze funds on public works projects
  • Lien waivers for every project — at no extra charge
  • Automatic research and verification of owner, GC, and property information
  • Instant confirmation that your request meets every state requirement
  • Clear, plain-English updates so you always know exactly where your request stands
