By now, you probably know why preliminary notices are a critical step in securing payment for your work. If you are unsure of what preliminary notices are or wish to learn about the challenges you may face when sending them out, be sure to read our article, “What is a Preliminary Notice? It is Your Blueprint for Risk Reduction.”
So after being aware of all this information, you might find yourself asking why hire CNS to take care of your preliminary notices? Why not do it yourself?
While you certainly can do your prelims on your own, many subcontractors unknowingly send their prelims with incorrect or missing information and outside of their effective time frame. The result is an invalid or rejected pre lien.
Mistakes like these, although costly, aren’t necessarily your fault. The preliminary notice process can be complex — often changing between states and counties — and you can sometimes be provided the wrong information for a project. With many other responsibilities on your plate, it can be difficult to set aside time to track and verify every last bit of required information.
At CNS, we have the expertise and resources necessary to go beyond simply mailing out your notices. We incorporate research, verification, and exceptional customer service for an enjoyable experience that provides peace of mind.
Send us a message or call us at 800-366-5660 to get your prelims started.

The Construction Notice Services Difference
Depending on the size of a project, there can be hundreds if not thousands of contractors working at the same time. Much like the game of Telephone, as information on the construction project gets passed from entity to entity, it can often get mixed up and result in omitted or incorrect information altogether. This means that by the time you prepare your pre lien, the information given to you may not be fully accurate.
Our job at CNS is to verify that all information is correct and notify you of any errors to avoid delays in sending out your prelims. We call our customers directly with any pertinent information to prevent it from being accidentally overlooked.
Our Research & Verification Process
At CNS, we provide a robust research process to find missing information in our customers’ prelims and verify its accuracy.
Our research and verification department contacts the appropriate entities to gather critical information. Common information we search for is the project address, the owner’s information, the general contractor’s information, whether lenders or bonding companies were involved, and more. This part of the process can often take 4 to 5 days — time that many of our customers are unable to set aside to do it themselves.
Additionally, since we’re not a collection company, our research team’s calls to verify information are much more positively received by our customers, their clients, and anyone receiving our inquiries.
