California construction by the numbers
California compliance you cannot ignore
20-day preliminary notices
California requires subs and suppliers to serve a 20-day preliminary notice to preserve lien rights on private works. Missing the window means losing the lien. Sledge tracks preliminary notice deadlines automatically.
Source →Conditional and unconditional lien waivers
California Civil Code Section 8132 and following prescribe the exact language for conditional progress, unconditional progress, conditional final, and unconditional final waivers. Wrong form, wrong language, waiver is invalid.
Source →Prevailing wage on public works
Public works projects over $1,000 require prevailing wage under DIR rules. Certified payroll must be filed electronically through eCPR. Sledge generates compliant certified payroll out of the box.
Source →Mechanics lien deadlines
Direct contractors must record a lien within 90 days of project completion. Subcontractors have tighter windows after their last work. Missing the deadline forfeits the lien remedy.
