Document background
The Notice To Owner Notice To Contractor document is a fundamental tool in Canadian construction law, designed to establish and preserve the rights of various project participants. This document type is mandated by provincial construction lien legislation and serves multiple purposes: it provides formal notice of work performed or materials supplied, preserves lien rights, and establishes clear communication regarding payment obligations. It must be used when a party wishes to secure their right to payment or notify others of potential lien claims, typically within specific statutory timeframes that vary by province. The notice contains essential project information, payment details, and statutory declarations, ensuring compliance with provincial requirements while protecting the interests of all parties involved in the construction process.
