Construction Litigation & Lien Claims Lawyer in Ontario

Construction projects often give rise to disputes involving payment, delays, and workmanship. Ontario’s Construction Act provides special protections, including the right to register construction liens—but strict timelines apply.

Common Construction Disputes

• • Non-payment or delayed payment for work or materials
• • Improper or exaggerated lien registrations
• • Deficiency claims and scope of work disputes
• • Delay claims or project abandonment
• • Breach of construction contracts

Examples

• 1. Unpaid contractor suing for lien enforcement: A subcontractor finishes work on a commercial project but is never paid, requiring registration and enforcement of a construction lien under Ontario’s Construction Act.
• 2. Deficiency dispute with builder: A new homebuyer discovers serious structural issues within months of possession, and the builder refuses to take responsibility under the Tarion warranty.
