Tactics, strategies and planning to avoid panic

Effective October 1, 2019, prompt payment and adjudication, two major reforms in the newly renamed Construction Act will come into force. Construction companies and contractors should ensure the appropriate strategies are in place to comply with these additions to the Act. Join us as we unpack the key aspects and offer valuable tactics and planning so you can avoid panic.

Topics will include:

1. Prompt Payment
2. Adjudication (preparing for adjudication, timelines and best practices)
3. Lien Modernization
4. Release & Non-Payment of Holdback
5. Trust Accounting
6. P3 Projects & Special Purpose Entities

While companies doing business in Ontario are the first to have to navigate these reforms, the Federal Government and other provinces across Canada have also embarked on efforts to introduce similar legislation. The prompt payment regime is gaining momentum throughout Canada and it is critical for those involved in the construction and infrastructure sectors in Canada to be aware of these significant changes including the implications of such changes for their business practices.

Are you ready? Prompt payment and adjudication is here!
