FAQs originated as questions asked in response to the OAA’s Construction Contract Administration Committee’s “Ask a Question, Get an Answer” efforts, posed by callers to the Hotline, and sent by email to the Practice Advisors. The responses are based on the limited information contained in the question as posted and may include assumptions made about the context and circumstances in order to frame the response. The responses and answers were reviewed by committee members; they represent peer advice and are not to be taken as OAA policy.
The FAQs were current when they were written. With the advent of the 3rd edition of the Canadian Handbook of Practice (CHOP), several FAQs were revised to add references to the new document. In other cases, the answers may refer to the Construction Lien Act (CLA) as opposed to the newer Construction Act (CA). Since there are still projects underway under the CLA, such answers may not have been updated.
Readers are to use their judgement in applying the FAQ responses to the specifics of their own situations.
