CONSTRUCTION LAW SERVICES

 

Here's a deeper dive into key areas of Construction Law in BC:

 
Contracts: A well-drafted contract is crucial. We'll assist in crafting, reviewing, and negotiating ironclad agreements that clearly define:  

• Scope of Work: The importance of a clear and detailed description of the required work cannot be overstated.

• Payment Terms: Unambiguous payment terms, including timelines and conditions, are essential to avoid conflict.

• Risk Allocation: Clearly outlining risk allocation for delays, unforeseen circumstances, and changes protects all parties involved.

 

Builders' Liens: The Builders' Lien Act (BLA) provides security for unpaid work or materials. Our lawyers offer guidance on: 

• Filing and Enforcing Liens: We'll ensure compliance with strict timelines and procedures as outlined in the BLA.

• Defending Against Liens: If facing a lien, we'll develop a robust defense strategy based on relevant case law.

 

Construction Defects: Faulty workmanship can be costly. We'll advise on legal options, including: 

• Breach of Contract: When construction fails to meet contractual standards, you may have grounds for claims.

• Negligence: Construction falling below a reasonable standard of care, resulting in damages, can be actionable. 

 

Construction Delays and Changes: Projects rarely go exactly according to plan. We'll help navigate these situations and ensure fair compensation through: 

• Delay Claims: Established legal precedents allow recovery of costs associated with owner-caused delays.

• Change Order Claims: Obtaining written change orders with proper c   ompensation before proceeding with additional work is crucial
