As a result, the money that is the life blood of a project travels a long and difficult path from the inevitable lender to a worker’s weekly paycheck or a supplier’s invoice. It doesn’t always make it, and its failure to do so underlies the reason for Florida’s construction lien law. 2 These include voluntary liens imposed by contract, such as a mortgage. 3 Involuntary security interests against real or personal property are also available under Florida law, including the familiar retaining and charging liens, 4 as well as a variety of others, 5 including liens for labor on logs and timber, 6 on raising crops, 7 in ginning cotton, 8 or for furnishing locomotives, 9 material for vessels, 10 or pest control. 11 Liens are also available to the issuers of securities, 12 to real estate brokers, 13 to furnishers of aircraft fuel, 14 tax collectors, 15 and condominium associations. 16 They are also among the most Byzantine, and the complexity of their governing statute, Part I of Chapter 713, 17 is testament to the difficulty of balancing common law contract principles with the realities of the construction marketplace. One symptom of this complexity is the sheer length of Florida’s lien law — it contains 47 sections and 29,925 words, 18 about the same as the amount of words George Orwell used to write Animal Farm. 19 We will see below why a statute governing a single form of security could grow to be as long as a novel. In many cases, an owner must then submit the invoice to a lender to obtain funding, adding yet another layer to the payment cycle. When the owner does issue payment, the reverse process takes place, with each vendor paying its downstream counterpart and collecting payment receipts at each step of the process. 26. Owners or lenders may dispute the amount of the invoice or be slow to pay, lenders may require more paperwork, or subcontractors may simply fail to pay their suppliers. How does one who supplies, say, lighting fixtures to a subcontractor collect payment for the products that it furnished? The construction industry, uniquely fragmented 27 and mired in a tangle of short-term interrelationships, 28 might well collapse if a laborer or supplier knew that their only remedy lay against their employer or direct customer. Formerly known as a mechanic’s lien, 29 the construction lien provides a vehicle by which an entity can enforce its subcontract or purchase order directly against an owner, even though that owner is not in privity with the vendor. As early as 1658, a non-signatory was able to maintain an action to enforce the terms of a contract, 31 and by 1916, Cardozo’s decision in MacPherson v. Buick Motor Co., 212 N.Y. 382 (N.Y. App. 1916), 32 had eliminated the privity requirement for negligence actions. The lien law, on the other hand, uniquely grants a party to a contract the right to enforce it against an outsider, that is, it allows a party to assert contract claims against an entity with no actual or direct connection to the contract. 33 No other Florida statute has so expanded the reach of privity. Under the lien law, privity leapfrogs from the lower-tier vendors past the intermediate contracts directly into the owner’s lap. This statutory scheme is a far cry from the common law. The lien law limits its application to the improvement 34 of specific real property by third parties 35 who have timely notified the property’s owner of their existence 36 and whose claim is made in accordance with Ch. 713. 37 Privity carries with it the implication of “special knowledge showing active consent or concurrence” 39 and “an express or implied assumption by the owner of a contractual obligation to pay for the labor or materials furnished.” 40 That is, Ch. 713’s privity of contract implies that an owner has voluntarily assumed primary liability for payment of the supplier or laborer. 41. This relatively late addition expressly states that the lien law “shall not be subject to a rule of liberal construction in favor of any person to whom it applies,” thereby putting an end to the growing application of equitable principles that culminated in the holding of Crane Co. v. Fine, 221 So. 2d 145 (Fla. 1969). 47 As more fully discussed below, lien claims must identify the lienor and its customer, the improved property and its owner, the type of work provided, the value provided to date and the amount unpaid, and the first and last dates of furnishing. 48 Each of these nine items is construed with a varying degree of strictness, allowing the greatest latitude where the errors have the least adverse effect on the lienee owner. Gross misstatements in the amount claimed or a misidentification of the encumbered property are generally fatal to a lien, but no cases have been found that discharge a lien for inadequately describing the type of work performed, for misstating the value of services furnished to date, or for errors in the name of the lienor’s direct customer. 49 This principle is effectuated by a collection of procedures and documents that try to balance the interests of vendors in getting paid and of property owners in not paying twice. To curb potential abuses, the legislature attached numerous conditions to its gift of non-party privity. The result: an entire scheme has been created to provide safeguards at every step in the process. While this list covers most of a project’s population, it does not extend downstream to a manufacturer who sells via a distributor or an alarm contractor who contracts with a low-voltage contractor who has a contract with an electrical subcontractor. Such situations do arise, and it is prudent to verify a lienor’s position in the chain of contracts when faced with a claim of lien. Arguably the most important of these are the notice to owner, which creates privity with the owner, and the claim of lien, which establishes a lienor’s claim against the owner’s property. There are numerous others as well, and they fall into three general categories: before construction, during construction, and when things go wrong. The following is a brief look at the most common of these forms and their role in the scheme of the lien law scheme. The document includes the property’s legal description and owner’s name, the name of the general contractor, a general description of the improvement, and the name and address of the surety and lender, if any. 54 An owner must record a NOC for any work for which a permit is required. 55 A certified copy must be posted at the project and it is the primary source of information for parties serving notices to owner. 56 An NOC is valid for one year by default, or for whatever period the owner decides, and may be renewed or amended as required. 57. As the project moves along and the owner pays for the work in place, the basis upon which liens may be claimed diminishes accordingly. In order to document this reduction, each payee may be required 64 to execute a waiver and release of lien, 65 essentially a receipt acknowledging payment which expressly releases the lienor’s right to claim a lien for services furnished through a certain date. 66 Given the importance of these lien waivers in reducing an owner’s risk of double payment, it is surprising that they are neither mandatory 67 nor notarized. 68 The lien law states that a lienor is not obligated to execute a lien waiver that is not in the statutory form, 69 but this admonition is circumvented by incorporating a more draconian form into a lienor’s contract and making its execution a condition thereof. Among the common additions to the statutory lien waiver is language releasing all claims through a date certain, thereby eliminating a subcontractor’s pending claims for additional work performed but not yet formalized into a change order, for delays, or for disputed prior partial payments. Section 713.20 gives credence to this practice by stating that a lien waiver that differs from the statutory form is enforceable according to its terms. 70 Failure by the lienor to respond within the 30 days deprives it of its lien rights. 71 First furnishing must have occurred no earlier than 45 days prior to service of an NTO, 76 and final furnishing no more than 90 days prior to lien recording. 77 Because an owner’s property may only be encumbered for the value of improvements thereto, the final furnishing date is defined as the last day on which a lienor actually contributed to such improvement. Punch list 78 and warranty or repair work do not count, 79 but a visit to a project to ascertain the amount of work remaining under contract does. 80 Determining exactly when that occurred can be difficult. Unlike, say, the airline industry, in which the origins of a turbine blade can be traced back to the mine from which its raw materials came, 81 record-keeping in the construction industry is outdated and poorly enforced, 82 and it is often impossible to determine exactly what a subcontractor did during its last weeks on the job. 83 However, a claim of lien is an affidavit, 84 which raises the required standard for controverting evidence, and a mere recitation of inconsistent gate records, daily reports, or other documents may be insufficient to overcome the presumption of validity attached to it. Nevertheless, any litigator would do well to thoroughly investigate a lienor’s records if a lien is recorded during the last days of the 90 day period. A lien is deemed fraudulent if a lienor has willfully exaggerated the amount claimed or if the lienor has included a claim for work not performed, 85 but a minor error or a “good-faith dispute as to the amount due” 86 is not always considered a willful exaggeration.Most lienors would presumably opt for the former. 100. A copy must be served on the owner before recording or within 15 days thereafter. 101 All liens recorded while an NOC is in effect are of equal priority, and attachment to the property is retroactive to the date of recording the NOC. If there was no NOC, however, or if it has expired, a lien attaches at the time of recording. An action to enforce the lien must be commenced within one year of the date of recording, or the lien will simply expire. 102 This period may be shortened to 20 days by filing a complaint to show cause why the lien should not be enforced by action or vacated, 103 or to 60 days by recording a notice of contest of lien. 104 A lien remains in effect once an action to enforce it has commenced, and it is enforceable against creditors and subsequent purchasers if a lis pendens has also been recorded. 105. Nevertheless, all may not be lost if a subcontractor has failed to perfect a claim of lien. Certain courts have permitted non-privity lienors to bring actions directly against an owner under quasi-contract principles, a reasonable accommodation that only applies if the owner has failed to make payment to the contractor. 107 It assures lower-tier vendors the same access to payment as the general contractor and, if properly administered by owner and contractor, helps assure that all of these vendors receive their due compensation. Suppliers, many of whom have multi-state operations and supply hundreds of subcontractors, are particular beneficiaries of the lien law as their participation in a project is minimal and the notice of commencement is their only reliable source of information regarding the identity of the end-user of their products. Owners likewise benefit from the lien law because it is only through the notices to owner that an owner knows to whom debts may be owed, and it is only through releases and waivers of lien that the owner can be assured that none of the money got sidetracked on its long journey down to the sub-subcontractors and suppliers. Mortgage, Black’s Law Dictionary (10th ed. 2014). The most common methods are fixed price (stipulated sum) or time and materials (cost of the work, plus a fee, with or without a guaranteed maximum price). The former is billed monthly as a percentage of completion, the latter based on actual costs incurred. MacPherson had purchased his Buick automobile from a dealer; Buick had manufactured the vehicle, but had purchased the wheels from a third-party vendor; MacPherson was injured when one of the wheels collapsed. The court held that, “irrespective of contract, the manufacturer of this thing of danger is under a duty to make it carefully.” MacPherson, 212 N.Y. at 389. Nevertheless, Florida courts have generally been willing to accord only incidental beneficiary status to owners. See J.W. Hodges Drywall, Inc. v. Mizner Falls LLP, 865 So. 2d 681, 682 (Fla. 4th DCA 2004), holding that a property owner is generally not considered a third-party beneficiary of a contract between a general contractor and a subcontractor, and citing to Publix Super Mkts., Inc. v. Cheesbro Roofing, Inc., 502 So. 2d 484 (Fla. 5th DCA 1987). See Florida Dept. of Fin. Services v. Freeman, 921 So. 2d 598, 610 (Fla. 2006), Cantero, J. concurring. See also Stresscon v. Madiedo, 581 So. 2d 158, 160 (Fla. 1991) (“Because the acquisition of a mechanic’s lien is purely statutory, there must be strict compliance with the mechanics’ lien law in order to acquire such a lien.”). Added in 1977, as noted in Trytek v. Gale Indus., Inc., 3 So. 3d 1194, 1199 (Fla. 2009). See Blinn v. Dumas, 408 So. 2d 683, 684 (Fla. 1st DCA 1982), holding that a claim of lien that inadequately described the work furnished did not have an adverse effect on lienee; see also Trump Endeavor 12 LLC v. Fernich, Inc., 216 So. 3d 704 (Fla. 3d DCA 2017), holding that a third-tier paint supplier’s misidentification of a project’s general contractor did not invalidate its claim of lien. Day-to-day records of attendance and of work performed are notoriously poor and incomplete; record-keeping regarding life safety (whether the structure will fall down or burn up) is a different matter. See Zupnik Haverland, LLC v. Current Builders of Florida, Inc., 7 So. 3d 1132, 1135 (Fla. 4th DCA 2009), holding that it is “within the trial court’s discretion to determine the intent and good or bad faith of the lienor.” The subject subcontract was unambiguous, but it also incorporated by reference the direct contract that contained contradictory language, creating an ambiguity that rendered the pay-if-paid clause unenforceable and requiring payment within a reasonable time. Id. at 407. Until the claim is recorded, it does not constitute a lien against the property. If referring the buyer to Fla. Stat. 713.21(3) fails, a harmless legal nullity, the “notice of extinguishment of lien,” executed by the lienor, is recorded to announce that the lien has been extinguished by operation of law.

Most construction contracts allow the owner to direct changes in the work and provide that the contractor will be paid and sometimes receive a time extension for performing the changed or extra work. Under certain circumstances, extra or changed work may be priced in the contract (e.g., by unit price or agreed labor rates and material costs). If so, include “under the contract” in the opening paragraph. This instruction is based on CACI No. 303, Breach of Contract - Essential Factual Elements, and CACI No. 350, Introduction to Contract Damages. If the claim is based on an implied contract for the work, also give CACI No. 305, Implied-in-Fact Contract. The trial court concluded that it may and we agree. So long as the other contracting party continues to demand performance of the increased scope of work, and in the absence of any conflicting provision of the contract, the contractor may continue to work after unsuccessful negotiations and subsequently recover the value of that work. Construction projects pose complex time management challenges, requiring multiple contractors and subcontractors to coordinate their efforts as numerous design revisions and change orders inevitably arise.
