When would a Notice of Commencement be filed?

Only Government jobs require a Notice of Commencement. All other jobs no longer require a Notice of Commencement. A notice of Commencement must be filed within 15 days after work on the job site has begun. If it is not filed on time or accurately, anyone working on the job is not required to file a Preliminary Notice to make a claim on the payment bond. If the construction project is not a Government job, there is no Notice of Commencement filed. General contractors, suppliers and sub-contractors would all file Preliminary Notices to preserve their lien rights.
