Construction Disputes

Construction Disputes & Litigation Lawyers in BC

Legal Support for Builders, Contractors, and Property Owners

Construction projects in British Columbia don’t always go according to plan. Whether you’re a homeowner, real estate developer, contractor, or small business owner, disputes around construction work can quickly lead to delays, lost income, and broken trust.

At Crossroads Law, our construction disputes lawyers help clients resolve issues efficiently, effectively, and with practical solutions that protect their rights under BC law, including the Builders Lien Act.

Types of Construction Disputes We Handle in BC

Construction work often involves multiple parties, tight timelines, and high expectations. Disputes can arise when any part of the process breaks down. We regularly assist clients with:

BC Builders Lien Claims

If you’ve provided labour or materials and haven’t been paid, filing a builder’s lien in BC can help protect your right to compensation. Under the Builders Lien Act, strict deadlines apply — often within 45 days of last working on the project. We guide clients through the lien filing process to ensure it’s done correctly and on time, giving them the legal foothold needed to recover payment.

Construction Deficiency Lawyer – BC

If the finished product isn’t what was promised — whether due to structural problems, code violations, or substandard workmanship — you may have a deficiency claim. We help homeowners, contractors, and developers assess the problem, gather evidence, and pursue a fair resolution through negotiation or litigation.

Construction Delay Lawyer – BC

Time is money in construction. When a project is delayed without cause, it can result in financial losses, penalties, or reputational damage. Our lawyers assist with delay-related claims by reviewing your contract, identifying breaches, and pursuing remedies available under BC law.

Unpaid Contractor Lawyer – BC

Not getting paid for completed work is one of the most common — and frustrating — issues in construction. Whether you’re a contractor, subcontractor, or supplier, we can help recover unpaid invoices through demand letters, lien claims, or litigation. We also defend property owners facing unjustified payment claims.

When disputes can’t be resolved through negotiation or mediation, we represent clients in court. We handle both plaintiff and defence work in construction litigation, helping you assess the strength of your case and choose the most effective path forward.
