Connecticut's construction sector requires strict adherence to mechanics lien recording deadlines. MyCrewTracker provides Connecticut contractors with a centralized platform to manage project documents and track 90-day statutory deadlines.
Connecticut Certificate of Mechanic's Lien
Connecticut mechanics lien law contains rigid recording deadlines. Under Conn. Gen. Stat. § 49-34, any person who claims a mechanics lien must generally record a Certificate of Mechanic's Lien within 90 days after they have ceased to perform services or furnish materials.
Missing this deadline forfeits the right to claim a mechanics lien. By utilizing MyCrewTracker's Daily Reports, field supervisors generate a verifiable, date-stamped log of when work actually concluded, ensuring the back office never misses this 90-day window.
Connecticut Prompt Payment
For private construction contracts, Conn. Gen. Stat. § 42-158j mandates that an owner generally must pay the prime contractor within 30 days of receiving a proper invoice. Subcontractors must similarly be paid within 30 days of the contractor receiving payment.
To enforce these rights or defend against withholding claims, contractors must maintain flawless documentation. MyCrewTracker offers a secure cloud repository where Connecticut contractors can organize dated payment applications and disbursement records to prove statutory compliance.
