- Notice must be provided by personal delivery or certified mail and must inform owners of their rights regarding mechanics liens and the subcontractor's estimated charges
- Allows property owners to pay subcontractors directly and deduct amounts from the contractor's contract price, or withhold payment from the contractor for 120 days after completion unless a lien waiver is provided
- Protects subcontractors who make good faith efforts to comply with notice requirements from losing lien rights unless the owner or another lien claimant proves direct damage from non-compliance
