Common Questions
Construction lien questions Credit Valley clients often ask.
Can Credit Valley progress draws affect lien disputes?
Yes. Draw records, approvals, completion proof, holdbacks, and payment history can affect both claim and response.
What if changes were approved during the project?
Change messages, revised invoices, photos, pricing records, and payment history should be reviewed.
Why does the last work date matter?
Lien-related timing may depend on project dates, so last work and completion records should be reviewed quickly.
