The Electrical Contractors Association of British Columbia (ECABC) is calling for prompt payment legislation as soon as possible.

Labour supply, costs, and faltering public sector standards and systems are putting pressures on B.C.’s builders.

For B.C. contractors, cash flow is being severely restricted by payment delays or non-payment. Prompt payment legislation is urgently needed.

New federal prompt payment legislation came into effect on December 9, 2023, addressing long-standing construction industry concerns.

Collecting unpaid accounts in challenging economic times requires careful attention and planning.

Alberta’s government has passed the Prompt Payment and Construction Lien Act and supporting regulations, which come into effect August.

New legislation will introduce prompt payment timelines into Alberta’s construction sector, ensuring contractors get paid on time.
