The impacts of COVID-19 are massive. The construction industry has been incredibly impacted. Reduction of the services you can offer, safe practices during work, supply chain disruption. The one thing you don’t need unreasonable delays in getting paid. Contracts October 1, 2019 and forward: Your clients are still required to pay promptly, or give notice of non-payment. If they don’t, there is a quick and publicly funded Adjudication process. We can help you navigate the ...process, craft and focus your materials and help to ensure the best possible outcome. It is a remote, largely paper based process so our involvement is limited and can help get you paid quickly. Contracts Prior to October 1, 2019: While no right to quick adjudication for these contracts exist, a customer is still required to pay for the work you’ve done for them and mechanisms exist to help ensure they do. I’m either case, your lien rights remain and existing timelines continue to apply. Lawsuits and negotiated outcomes can and should still occur. You’ve done the work, you ought to get paid and we can help. If you’ve done your part, but your customer is refusing to honour their obligations, contact us. Much of the time a letter does the trick, but where that doesn’t get you the results you deserve, we can help move your claim forward and get you paid. We are a completely remote based practice. We have user friendly video conferencing and file sharing platforms and know how to help you use them. Contact us at [email protected] or visit our site at www.rossfirm.com.
