Arizona Preliminary Notice Questions

Preliminary Notice
Arizona
my company is the owner of construction projects in arizona. how do we find out who all have filed prelim notices for any particular project?
ArizonaWe are proceeding under a letter of intent (LOI) so that we can get a head start on our construction project before we have a signed contract. Can we send a 20 day preliminary notice on an Arizona project before we have a signed contract?
ArizonaI have a job in the state of Arizona and did a pre lien naming the property owner and the prime contractor. The prime contractor is no longer going to complete the project, the property owner is. If I have to file a lien at the end of the job does the pre lien need to be modified showing the prime contractor is not active?

*This is a general question, not State specific*
ArizonaNone of our general contractors are happy with property owners knowing actual contract amount and being able to calculate GC's markup. We would like to be able to say the contract value was double actual value to avoid losing our GC customers. For example, we charge the GC $2600 for a job, GC invoices the customer for $5000 for the work we did. Can our preliminary notice say that the contract amount is $5000, but amount due is only $2600? Or would this invalidate any future lien action?
ArizonaWe have not started on a job nor do we have a signed contract as of yet but have put a dumpster on the property. I need to know if putting a dumpster on the property is the 1st day.
ArizonaAs a subcontractor filing a prelim 20 day notice for a project that we were required to have a payment and performance bond, do we need to include our bond information on the prelim notice, or only include bond information if the GC has a bond on the project?
Thank you
ArizonaWe are at the end of a home remodeling project, and have paid partial amounts along the way. We received our final invoice and it includes change orders that were not at the price given by the contractor. It also includes a 4 month old bill for HVAC subcontractor stating that it is a change order, and that we owe it (plus the contractor's 20%). Our contract states these changes must be agreed in writing by both parties. There is no communication regarding this bill or that it wasn't part of the original contract.
I told him we disagreed with these items, and included his e-mails with the original $ amount for the approved change orders. I said we felt the HVAC was not a change order, and was part of original contract. I then said how much I agreed to pay. He replied that he disagrees and full payment is due otherwise no more work will be done (a minimal amount it left).
Today, I received a prelim 20 day notice (that he mailed before he sent our final invoice). I'm worried he can file a mechanic's lien even though he seems to be breaching his own contract. I had given him a partial payment of $5000 instead of $9700. After my calculations, I feel I owe him another $1000 or so. I'm not sure what to do next?
ArizonaI'm working as the Architect / Engineer on a project in Arizona. If we’ve already since a Pre Lien Notice to the owner of a property, but now we’re working for a different client, do we need to send another notice?
Same Owner / property….different client.
ArizonaThe building owner received 20-day preliminary lien notices that listed the wrong address for the location of the construction activity. No correction was sent.
Should the subsequent lien waivers list the correct address of the work, or the incorrect address shown on the preliminary notice?
ArizonaOur existing process has been to update the primary contract pre-lien with the subsequent change orders. This however does not favor the sub-contractor, as I don’t want the lien dates to be continually reset for relatively small change orders. I would prefer, if the change orders are over $1000, to submit pre-liens on those and let them stand on their own.
I have an example of a primary contract order of approximately $150k. The primary job is now complete and I want the lien clock to start, so I will press for final payment within 60-days, on the outside. We may be getting a change order for around $1500, which I would like to treat separately and not reset the clock on the main job.
Is this an acceptable approach and fall within the lien rights of sub-contractors?
ArizonaWe are a supplier in the state of AZ. We are supplying material to a subcontractor on the job. The job is for several production lots/common areas in a new housing development that are currently being built/owned by a developer or GC but will likely be sold to a home owner and/or HOA at a date in the future.
