Legal Question in Construction Law in New Jersey
Construction Lien
my company provided asphalt to a contractor to pave a road in a new housing development. my company was never compensated for the asphalt which was placed on the road in order to allow the builders construction elements access to the homesites. the homesites were assigned lot and block numbers but the paved road was never dedicated to the local township.what is our best remedy to attempt to secure payment of the monies due us. since the road has not yet been dedicated it is still the property of the developer however, the property has not beeen assigned a physical identification (block / lot #) so how does an unpaid supplier file a lien to protect the money it is owed?

there is an identification number for the land. There has to be since someone had to pay taxes and get the improvements. You need to get a title agency to get for you the correct information. Once you get the info you can try to file your lien, however, you are looking at a complex issue. Let me know if this has been helpful.
Re: Construction Lien
In addition to what Messrs Diamond and Davies have told you, I suggest that you contact a lawyer as soon as possible. The best way to get your money is via a construction lien but there is a strict 90 day time limit on filing beginning on the day that the last materials or services were finished.
I can prepare the documents for you. Your question does not list a zip code so I don't know whether I am conveniently close to you. The important thing is that you contact a lawyer who does construction law and do that quickly. Call if I can help.
