Indiana's construction sector requires meticulous tracking of Notice to Owner deadlines, especially on residential projects. MyCrewTracker empowers Indiana contractors to securely store daily reports, manage project communications, and archive statutory notices.
The 30-Day Notice to Owner (Residential)
In Indiana, securing mechanics lien rights on residential properties requires swift action. Under Ind. Code § 32-28-3-1, a person providing labor, materials, or machinery for the alteration or repair of an owner-occupied single or double family dwelling must furnish a written notice of the delivery or work and of the existence of lien rights to the owner within 30 days of the first delivery or labor.
Because this 30-day window starts ticking on your first day on the job site, establishing a concrete timeline is critical. MyCrewTracker assists Indiana contractors by using Daily Reports to create a verifiable, date-stamped record of when work commenced, ensuring your back office accurately tracks the 30-day window.
Indiana Public Works Prompt Pay
Under Ind. Code § 36-1-12-17, Indiana law generally requires public boards to pay contractors within 35 days after the board receives a proper invoice. The contractor must then pay their subcontractors within 10 days of receiving the funds.
To enforce these rights, contractors must maintain perfect documentation of when invoices were transmitted and received. MyCrewTracker offers a secure cloud repository where Indiana contractors can organize dated payment applications and formal communications.
