For Subcontractors & Suppliers Under the New Construction Act in Ontario

This 3.5 hour seminar is designed to introduce the subcontractor and supplier of construction materials to the new rules of prompt payment under the law that came into effect in October 2019. We work at a boots on the ground administrator level. The days of asking GC’s to cover your monthly progress draw are gone. Failure to get your invoice in on time and with the required support documentation may mean penalties under the new act in Ontario.

Understanding what constitutes a proper invoice and how to ensure your invoice is carried forward to the owner is critical to exercising your rights. This session is designed specifically for sub trades and suppliers. We will show you how to trigger an adjudication upon receipt of a notice of non-payment, and what is critical to include in your paperwork. We will examine many of the pitfalls in getting paid on time historically and now that the rules have changed.
