Liens on Real Estate Construction Projects. In California the lien right are given to subcontractors and laborers as well as suppliers of materials on real property construction projects. The amount of the lien is the amount that is paid for materials and labor, as well as a reasonable attorney's fees (which is decided by the judge). Additionally, liens can only be enforced after the subcontractor has completed the task authorized to be done by the owners. There are a few restrictions on lien rights.
