Comment on Subcontractors, Be Prepared to Deal with Your Contractor's Bankruptcy - Know Your Rights, but Also Your Obligations!

Enjoyed this article. We wrote a similar article on our blog in December 2007, which may be helpful to your readers wanting more information on this topic:

This is an important subject for contractors in this economy. While many smaller outfits may have avoided learning about bankruptcy proceedings, now is the time to catch up on how to make these claims.

One thing you slightly mention in your article, is the construction lien. Subs and suppliers can avoid the messy bankruptcy claims process by just filing their construction liens. We operate a blog on construction liens here: http://www.constructionlienblog.com .

Keep up the good work with the South Carolina Construction Law blog.

It is important for the Home owner and contractor to agree upon certain conditions before they actually start the business.

Comment on South Carolina Residential Construction Standards

Hi Ryan.
I like your blog and find it helpful in my research. But I believe a better summary of the SCRCS would be:
For alleged code violations (or failure to comply with the manufacturer’s installation instructions), the Commission will take complaints for two years after completion for most trades and four years after completion for plumbing, HVAC and electrical work. The Commission will inspect for code violations concerning the following for eight years: major structural damage, building which are unsafe, unsanitary, do not provide adequate egress, constitute a fire hazard, or are otherwise dangerous to human life.
