Unpaid for construction work? Facing a dispute with a contractor?

In British Columbia, construction disputes can involve unpaid invoices, project delays, unexpected costs, or disagreements over workmanship.

And when a builders lien is involved, missing a deadline could affect your ability to secure payment.

3 things to do when a construction dispute starts:

1. Review your construction contract.

2. Save emails, invoices, change orders, and photos.

3. Check your legal rights and any applicable deadlines.

At Lam Legal – Trial Lawyers, we help contractors, developers, and property owners navigate complex construction disputes across BC.

Contract disputes can drain time, cash, and focus—especially when you’re trying to run a business. If you’re dealing with a breach of contract (or want to prevent one), here are practical steps that can protect you in BC:

- Write contracts in plain, precise language (define key terms)

- Add dispute-resolution clauses (mediation/arbitration + BC governing law/jurisdiction)

- If a dispute starts: preserve evidence—contract, amendments, emails, meeting notes, timelines

- Negotiate with a plan (objectives + bottom line + document offers)

- Consider mediation or arbitration to resolve efficiently

- Prevent repeat issues with regular contract reviews and better communication

Money can change family relationships very quickly — especially when an inheritance is involved.

Estate lawyers say inheritance disputes are becoming increasingly common as Canadians deal with higher living costs, housing prices and financial pressure.

One common situation is when one adult child spends years caring for an aging parent, only to discover that the estate is divided equally among all of the siblings.

Then come the arguments about who sacrificed more, who deserves the house, who was promised what — and sometimes families never recover.

An inheritance can certainly help financially, but I’ve always believed you should never build your own financial future around money you expect to receive someday.

💬 Do you think inheritances should always be divided equally among children, or should circumstances matter?
