How can I get paid for the money that is outstanding on a Housing Authority project as a subcontractor by unwilling GC??

New JerseyBond ClaimsChange OrdersConstruction ContractLien DeadlinesPayment DisputesRight to LienSlow Payment

I worked on a project for a GC with a subcontract agreement to subtract actual payroll costs from the subcontract during the progress of the work. The GC wrote in the subcontract that I would be compensated the remaining delta. They provided the materials. I provided the field sampling and laboratory testing via 3rd Party. The GC is unwilling to submit a significant change order for the benefit of the subcontractor due to his relationship with the owner. The outstanding change orders for unforeseen conditions, winter concrete protection, and filling voids in substrate exceed $50,000. The remaining balance of the subcontract also exceeds $50,000. Please advise.

Unfortunately, your fairly detailed fact and legal scenario appears to be, in my opinion, beyond the scope of what attorneys here can reasonably respond to in this forum. The matter seems to call for engagement of counsel to represent you towards efficient and effective dispute resolution upon careful review and evaluation of the documents, the history, and application of law. And the other side is likely not going to give you much cooperation or attention until they hear from an attorney in a firm and fact-specific letter. That said, if you’d like to explore that with me, I’m at tcamp@maringoodman.com.
