Seminar

A builders lien can be a powerful and effective tool to assist with the collection of fees. If you are involved in the construction industry, a working knowledge of the Builders Lien Act is critical.

This seminar will offer a concise, up to date overview of builders' liens, including a discussion on the obligations on design consultants with respect to payment certification and release of holdbacks, and practical tips to manage the risks.

Speaker

Beth Allard, L.L.B

Beth Allard’s practice encompasses a broad range of construction based claims including professional liability defence for design professionals and builders liens. Beth also does professional regulatory work including disciplinary hearings, challenges to disciplinary action and review of regulatory procedures.

Her recent work includes the defence of structural engineers against claims of negligent design relating to roof collapses and the defence of geotechnical engineers relating to the design of various building foundations, and the defence of architects in claims arising from the architect’s role as both project consultant and project manager. She also acts for Owners in claims for negligent design and construction.

Beth’s clients include ENCON Insurance Managers, Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of British Columbia and the Architectural Institute of British Columbia.
