I did not send a preliminary notice.

It was a commercial site and after things were getting “messy”, the property owner’s construction manager took over as General Contractor in which I worked along side. Is my preliminary notice required? Is this clause stating I am not required if it is a commercial site and if I worked under the property owner’s company? 779.02.
