This book was released on 2012-04-15 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The new mechanics lien laws that become fully effective July 1, 2012, enacted a complete revision to the California mechanics lien laws. The bill was the result of work of many years of work by the California Law Revision Commission. The author, Howard B. Brown, worked with that commission. He has been an attorney for over 63 years and most of that in construction litigation and law. The new laws have made numerous changes in the lien laws. All contractors, builders, lenders sureties and those desiring their services will be affected by the new statutes. A purpose of this book is to explain the new laws and their interfacing with the present statutes to be replaced by the new statutes in whole or in part, as they may relate to the construction of projects and improvements under old, but still existing, and new laws that become effective as indicated.

All of the basics are covered, including cash flow analysis, distinguishing job costs from overhead expenses, and calculating mark-up." - Sal Alfano, Editorial Director, Hanley Wood Business Media. Melanie Hodgdon (Business Systems Management, Inc.) and Leslie Shiner, MBA (The ShinerGroup) both manage successful consulting and coaching companies. With over 40 years combined experience, they help contractors better understand and improve business practices and maximize profits.
