QR Codes
Guide for QR Codes
QR codes are special bar codes that can be read by a mobile phone's camera. Most of the QR readers are free for smart phones. If you don't already have a reader, go to your phone’s app store and search for "QR Reader".
All the SCR filings have QR codes that when scanned link back to the details of that filing.
The SCR QR Codes will save you time because you won't have to find and write down all the job information: Owner, Original Contractor, Job Address, County and Tax Parcel IDs.
If the QR Code for the SCR filing is posted on the job site, everyone working on the job would be able to scan the QR code and use the correct job information in their Preliminary Notice without having to type it in again.
If the mobile device has internet access on the job site, the person could even complete a Preliminary Notice right then. All the key information such as the Job Address, Owner, Original Contractor and Tax Parcel ID would be automatically entered for them. They would only have to type in the contact information for the person who hired them.
Internet access is not required to scan a QR code. The QR codes can be posted on remote job sites and still function perfectly.
If a QR code is scanned on the job site without internet access, the link should be stored by the QR Reader and can be used later to file the Preliminary Notice.
