We were contracted by a client for work in Colorado for construction staffing. The structure is a warehouse and it was used for manufacturing. Is there anything we can place a lien on in order to get paid for the $8K + in work we provided?
Anyone who has supplied equipment, material, labor, machinery, or tools to be used in the construction, alteration, or repair of any structure, or who makes an improvement upon the land itself, is entitled to lien the property. You do not explain what work you provided. If your contract was for services only and does not entitle you to a lien under the statute, then you cannot file a lien. Try it and expect a quick demand from their attorney to remove it or face damages and attorney fees.
Ultimately, an attorney would need to review this contract and get more facts. Reach out if you want to discuss.

What if we don't know where the materials went that were manufactured? We don't know the actual "jobsites" they went to, if that makes sense.
As I noted, this will require the assistance of an attorney to review the contracts and the facts to determine what you can do. You have my email if you want to schedule a time to discuss.
Okay. Thank you for your help!
