New Construction
New construction can be complex and confusing. Owners, lenders, architects, contractors, subcontractors, laborers and material providers all play a role. Each has a distinct expectation and interest to protect.

The State of Michigan has developed and enacted specific laws that address and define many of these interests and expectations, and how the parties may protect their respective interests. The statutes forming this body of law are collectively referred to as the Construction Lien Act (hereinafter referred to as the Act).

The Act spells out methods by which the parties can protect their respective rights and interests. We are pleased to provide some tools that can be used to do so, as part of a package of materials we call The Construction Zone.

We constantly update these materials. Please contact your Sales Executive for access to the latest version, via our download link on the right.

The information contained in these materials is intended to give you an overview and acquaint you with some of the terms, procedures and forms used during the construction process. This is not a comprehensive study of the Act or an exhaustive explanation of parties rights and responsibilities thereunder. Direct additional questions or inquiries concerning the Act and parties rights or responsibilities to your legal representative.
