Prior to working on a new job site, do your research and pull a "Certified Copy of Title". Title searches give you an abundance of information - legal land description, owner name & address, and details about registered interests involving the property. Titles can also be used as a risk management tool. If you check a title prior to beginning work at a new site, you will be able to see if there are any liens registered against the property. The presence of a lien can be a "red flag" and you should proceed with caution. Do some digging - was the lien filed as a precautionary measure to protect the lienor's interest? Are there problems with payment? If so, could this mean you might have problems too? You will never know the reason for the lien being in place until you ask!

Protect yourself from the get go and pull a title. For more information contact Alysia at 1-866-266-0117 ext. 351

Spring Cleaning

As we finally enter into spring (about time Alberta!) we must prepare for the increased workload that comes with nicer weather and longer days. A higher volume workload can be exciting for our companies - new customers, increased revenue, etc; however, we must not get carried away focusing on the "new". Keep track of your outstanding accounts and do not forget to follow up on them. Lien filing periods are very short and once they pass, your right to lien expires. There is no way to extend or renew your lien deadline. Continually monitoring unpaid accounts will minimize the chance that you miss your deadline.

If you are unsure whether you are passed your lien deadline, check out our lien calculator or give us a call at 1-866-266-0117 ext. 351
