@Alison BrennerOne thing to confirm with the attorney after rereading this is to confirm if you get a lien waiver from your contractor then you are good and do not need sub and supplier liens.

If a contractor has worker's comp, if someone dies while doing a work, worker's comp covers it, it does not cover any damage on your property, the contractor bond protect you from workmanship defect and non-payment to subs/workers/suppliers, CGL protects you from damages.

Hey Jeff,I work for a quality lumber/Building materials supplier in town and would like to connect to work on some projects with you. 

This will protect you in all angles in case they don't pay any suppliers or subs, or if they don't perform the job itself, surety company goes in and finishes it for them, suppliers not paid?

3 - How many contractors and suppliers have you dealt with based on the answer to Q#3?

Consider offering incentives for early payments and implementing a robust collections process.3) Optimize Accounts Payable: Negotiate favorable payment terms with suppliers to extend payment deadlines without negatively impacting relationships.

I have a few with LP, I have the tank Lease, and the tenant is on COD, or they can do a credit app with the supplier I have the lease with, so far we have not had a problem. 

Require a PO or invoices from suppliers.

As I remember, they install them in your price.Yup, the prices above include delivery and installation...I have a local cabinet supplier who works with several different manufacturers; the particular manufacturer that we use is a local company called Liberty Cabinets.

All draws need to be paid and lien releases from the vendor and or supplier before the next draw is taken.
