Unpaid work, broken contracts, and strict deadlines. Vincent Mark Law is the Construction Lawyer in Burnaby that builders, owners, and contractors trust to protect their payment.
Construction disputes are some of the most costly legal problems a business or property owner can face. A contractor goes unpaid for months of work. An owner discovers defective work after the project ends. A subcontractor gets shut out when the general contractor defaults. A contract dispute spirals into a full delay claim that threatens the whole project. In British Columbia, construction law has strict deadlines that make timing everything.
Under the Builders Lien Act, a contractor or subcontractor has just 45 days after completing work to file a lien, or they may lose their right to collect. That window closes fast, especially when you are focused on finishing the job. Property owners have their own pressures: defective work, cost overruns, and permit issues with the City of Burnaby or the BC Building Code all need quick, informed legal action.

A builders lien is a legal claim registered against a property by a contractor, subcontractor, or supplier who has not been paid for work or materials. It can prevent the owner from selling or refinancing until the lien is resolved or paid out.
Under the Builders Lien Act, you have 45 days after completing your work or last supplying materials. For strata projects, the window is 55 days. As your Construction Lawyer in Burnaby, we move immediately when you contact us, so no deadline is missed.
You may have a claim for the cost of remedying the defect or for any resulting losses. Timing matters: defect claims under BC’s Limitation Act generally must be started within two years of when you knew or ought to have known about the problem.
Generally not through contract, but a builders lien allows a subcontractor to claim against the property regardless of who hired them. This is the primary protection subcontractors have when a general contractor defaults.
Many services, like lien filing and contract review, can be quoted as a fixed fee. Litigation and complex disputes are billed hourly. You get a clear written quote before we start, so your budget stays predictable even in a dispute.
