Only if you want paid.

Re: Preliminary lien notice
If you otherwise qualify for a lien, the fact that the owner is also a "builder" or acting as his own general contractor is not an impediment to getting a lien and may be very effective in insuring that you get paid in your capacity as someone entitled to a lien.
