The Contractor Lien Release is an essential document in Dutch construction law and project management, used when a contractor has completed their work and received payment, or is preparing to receive final payment. This document serves multiple purposes under Dutch law: it releases the contractor's right of retention (retentierecht) as defined in the Dutch Civil Code (Burgerlijk Wetboek), confirms receipt of payment, and waives future claims related to the specified work. The Contractor Lien Release is particularly important in larger construction projects where multiple contractors and subcontractors are involved, as it helps maintain clear records of payment settlements and claim releases. It's commonly required before final payment release, during project milestone completions, or when transferring property ownership, and must comply with Dutch construction law and contract regulations.
