Lien laws, explained plainly
Statutory protection has more than one clock.
A construction lien is temporary security for payment—not a demand letter and not an automatic recovery. The right must arise, be preserved correctly, and then be enforced before separate deadlines expire.
Supply work or materials
Eligibility starts with what was supplied, where, under which contract, and by whom.
Preserve before expiry
Register or serve the claim as required. The trigger and method depend on the province and project.
Act again after filing
Preserving a lien is not the final step. A separate enforcement clock may keep running.

- Since January 1, 2026, a deficient invoice may be deemed proper unless the owner gives written notice of the deficiency within seven days.
- Lien preservation commonly works from a 60-day period, but the starting event changes with role and facts—such as publication of substantial performance, last supply, completion, abandonment, or termination.
- A preserved lien generally expires unless it is perfected within the next 90-day period measured from the last day it could have been preserved.

Private and public projects differPrompt Payment and Construction Lien Act
28days for owner payment after a proper invoice
14days for an owner’s dispute notice
7days to pay a sub after owner payment
- Alberta’s private-sector prompt-payment rules have applied to new construction contracts since August 29, 2022, with later statutory and regulatory amendments.
- Alberta government projects sit under the Public Works Act rather than the private-sector Act. Its prompt-payment and adjudication amendments took effect April 1, 2025.
- Lien registration periods and procedures can change with the type of work and project. PreservePay will calculate them from the confirmed project facts, not from a single province-wide slogan.

Questions, answered plainly
Before you join.
PreservePay is early. The boundaries are part of the product—not fine print added later.
Who is PreservePay for?
Trade subcontractors with 5–100 employees are the first priority, followed by building-material suppliers and equipment rental companies. We are starting in Ontario and Alberta.
Does PreservePay provide legal advice or file liens?
No. PreservePay is being built as deadline-management, document-template, and public-record monitoring software. It will not provide legal representation or file as your agent. Decision points will include clear prompts to consult qualified counsel.
How will PreservePay calculate deadlines?
With deterministic, effective-date-versioned rules—not AI date math. Each rule will carry a statutory citation, and every calculation will preserve its confirmed inputs, rule version, output, and history.
What will counterparty watch cover?
Selected legally usable public sources, with coverage limits shown plainly. Possible entity matches will require confirmation. PreservePay will not launch with a black-box credit score or claim certainty about future insolvency.
When can I use it?
We are assembling a small founding cohort in Ontario and Alberta. Waitlist members will hear first when workflow interviews and early onboarding open.
