Who is responsible for posting the notice of commencement at a job site, if the construction job exceeds $2,500?

  1. The contractor

  2. The lending institution

  3. The owner

  4. Either contractor or owner

The correct answer is: The owner

The responsibility for posting the notice of commencement at a job site, when the construction job exceeds $2,500, falls upon the owner. This requirement is put in place to officially notify potential lien claimants about the commencement of construction, ensuring that they are informed about the project and who is managing it. The notice serves as a legal document that provides critical information such as the location of the property, the nature of the work being done, and the parties involved in the construction process. While contractors and lending institutions play important roles in the construction process, it is ultimately the owner's duty to file and post this notice. This obligation highlights the owner's vested interest in the project and their responsibility to safeguard against any potential claims that might arise from unpaid work. Thus, the owner's proactive step in posting the notice helps to protect all parties involved by clearly delineating who is associated with the construction effort.
