While I'm not totally sure what you're looking for, here are a few different notices and documents that might be helpful for recovering construction payments in Nebraska.
Notice of Intent to Lien
A mechanics lien is probably the most powerful tool available for those who perform construction work but go unpaid for that work. But, before jumping into a mechanics lien filing, merely threatening to file a lien can lead to payment.
By sending a document like a Notice of Intent to Lien, a construction business shows the property owner and/or their customer that they're serious about getting paid. It acts like a warning shot - the notice informs recipients that if payment isn't made and made soon, then a mechanics lien filing will be the next step for recovering payment. Generally, the document is sent to the project's owner as well as any other higher-tiered parties that might intervene on the issue.

Mechanics lien
As mentioned above, mechanics liens may the most powerful way to force your customer and the owner into making payment. They work in a number of ways to enforce payment (we counted 17), and due to their drastic nature, mechanics lien disputes are typically resolved before legal action becomes necessary.
