Engineers are covered by mechanic’s liens but only on private projects. An owner must file a “notice of contract” signed by him and the general contractor before commencing work. The lien must be filed within 60 days of notice of termination or completion of services. For a subcontractor, the time limit is 30 days. An action to enforce a lien must be filed with one year of filing the lien. R.S. 9:4807
