Re: Suing Contractor

You do not have to wait. There is a statute that deals with the exact steps you have to follow to terminate the notice of commencement and file a new one with your new contractor. The various building departments throughout the state have varying procedures on replacing a contractor on the permit and sometimes that can be a stumbling block, but it can be overcome.

Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions on the exact procedures to follow.
