Filing for a Builders' Lien in British Columbia
If you've been unpaid for your work on a construction site, you may be entitled to file a builders' lien claim under the British Columbia Builders’ Lien Act. The act makes certain provisions for everyone involved in a project, from the owners, lenders and primary contractors all the way down to the subcontractors, engineers, architects, material and equipment suppliers and labourers. If you fall under any of these categories, you should be aware of your obligations and rights under this Act so that you're adequately protected. Because this Act is rather complex in its scope, it's usually best to work with a lawyer experienced with builders' liens in Kelowna to ensure you comply with all of the required deadlines and documentation that are involved in the filing process. Whether your project has been significantly delayed due to the failure to provide materials or the registration of liens against your property, we can help you make sure that your builders' liens are filed properly and/or enforced.
