ND Mechanic Lien -does punchlist work apply towards last date provided?

North DakotaMechanics Lien

We are a GC, with a project in North Dakota. We completed all contract/change order work in June and have some punchlist work to complete in September once we are able to receive the materials needed to do the work. I can't find anywhere if punchlist work can be basis of determining last date provided to the project. In the meantime, we are using the June contract/CO completion date to track our upcoming September notice and lien deadline. Is this correct?

I would need to discuss this directly with the contractor as the answer is that it depends. Best practice is to file the lien so you do not take chances, but finishing punch list items can in some cases extend lien rights.
