Regarding construction matters, Iām often asked by clients whether a licenced builder is required for their project. The answer is no, you don't need a licenced builder but there are certainly advantages to having a licensed builder. First off is to do with insurance if nothing else and a licensed builder has to meet a number of requirements in British Columbia such as understanding the building code, understanding legal issues and management of construction and various other matters. So what you get with a licensed contractor is someone who should know what they are doing and his professional, that's the advantage. So if you would like some more information regarding license contractors or your contract that you are dealing with today please give us a call at FH&P Lawyers in Penticton.
