Ontario Construction Act

The Ontario Construction Act governs the rights and responsibilities of parties involved in construction projects, such as contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, and property owners. It provides rules for making claims for unpaid work or materials, ensuring timely payments, and resolving disputes. The Act includes provisions for lien rights, allowing parties to secure their financial interests on a property if they are owed money. It aims to promote fair practices, transparency, and efficient resolution of payment issues within the construction industry, helping protect both payers and providers while maintaining project integrity.
