Though not strictly required by South Carolina law, it is the best business practice to file a Notice of Project Commencement (NOC) within 15 days of starting any new residential project. An NOC protects a general contractor from excessive lower-tier liens. The notice forces a lower-tier subcontractor or supplier to respond with a Notice of Furnishing to have full lien rights.
A Notice of Claim of Lien must be sent by the contractor within 90 days of last furnishing of labor or materials to the project residential project in South Carolina.
If you do not have a direct contract with the owner as a subcontractor, it is very important to send a Notice of Furnishing Labor or Materials (NOF) at the start of the South Carolina project. While sending an NOF is not legally required, this notice can secure your right to a Full Price Lien in the event that a Notice of Commencement is recorded by the general contractor for the residential project. Without a Notice of Furnishing Labor or Materials, you may only be entitled to a lien on the balance remaining to the general contractor. If you are second-tier or lower, this is the only way to secure full lien rights.
