Document background
A Pre Lien Notice is a crucial legal document in the Philippine construction industry that must be filed before asserting lien rights against a property. This document is typically used when a contractor, subcontractor, or material supplier has provided labor, services, or materials to a construction project and needs to protect their right to payment. The notice must be served within specific timeframes and must contain particular information as required by Philippine law, including property details, work performed, and amount claimed. The Pre Lien Notice serves as an important step in the process of securing payment rights and must comply with requirements set forth in the Civil Code of the Philippines and construction industry regulations. It acts as a formal notification to property owners and other relevant parties of the potential filing of a mechanic's lien if payment is not received.
