Construction Law
Contract Services
We review and develop construction services agreements, ensuring that your rights under the Construction Act are protected and are in line with your business needs.
​
We focus on looking at past issues you may have faced with your contracts and agreements and look for "holes" to prevent future problems.
Holdbacks
Under the Construction Act holdback obligations are created pursuant to Section 22 which provides that the owner is required to hold back 10% of the contract price in trust from the general contractor.
​
This requirement of holdback also applies to general contractors. The Construction Act requires contractors to retain a holdback on behalf of contractors.
​
If an oner or general contractor fails to retain the holdback, they can be held personally liable for the holdback obligations pursuant to Section 23 of the Construction Act.
