Document background
The Pre Lien Notice is a fundamental document in Saudi Arabian construction law that serves as a preliminary step in securing payment rights for construction work or materials. It is typically used when a contractor, subcontractor, or supplier has provided services or materials to a construction project but has not received payment as agreed. The document must be filed in accordance with Saudi Arabian legal requirements and contains specific information about the project, involved parties, work performed, and payment claims. This notice is particularly important in the Saudi Arabian context, where construction laws and regulations are governed by both civil law principles and Sharia law. The Pre Lien Notice helps establish a clear record of the claim and protects the claimant's rights before proceeding with a formal lien filing. It also serves as an important communication tool that may facilitate payment resolution without the need for further legal action.
