B.C. Builders Call Prompt Payment Delays ‘Embarrassing’

Source:  Journal of Commerce 

Construction advocates have written the province letters, supported a private members bill, urged the BC Law Institute to address prompt payment during its lien reform efforts, had ongoing meetings with government officials, met with the premier, produced podcasts and even broadcast radio ads on the issue.

Despite the industry’s urging, little visible progress has been made and government officials say they won’t even start industry engagement until mid to late next year.

A Message from the Canadian Association of Pipeline and Utility Locating Contractors - CAPULC
  

Source:  CAPULC

In June, we released the pilot draft of our preliminary Canadian Underground Facility Locating and Marking Standard for the first (of two) 30-day review process. Our objective with this Standard was to develop a national line locating standard to ensure consistent practices across the country while allowing for provincial and industry variations in the future. With the help of a third-party contractor, we developed this document along with an inventory of resources and Continuous Improvement Log. Items are being placed into the Continuous Improvement Log when they are determined to be a major revision, a major discussion item, requires additional subject matter input, or is on hold to capture comments from the review processes. The purpose of the Continuous Improvement Log is to assist with the process for any future revisions, additions, modification, and deletions.
Message du Canadian Association of Pipeline and Utility Locating Contractors - CAPULC

En juin, nous avons publié l’ébauche de notre projet pilote concernant la norme canadienne de localisation et de marquage pour les installations souterraines. L’objectif de cette norme est d’élaborer une norme nationale de localisation d’infrastructures afin d’assurer des pratiques uniformes partout au pays tout en permettant aux normes provinciales et industrielles d’être modifiées dans le futur. Voici la première version du processus de révision de 30 jours. Avec l’aide d’un entrepreneur tiers, nous avons élaboré ce document et dressé une liste de ressources, en plus de tenir un registre d’amélioration en continu. Ce dernier contient les révisions majeures, les éléments de discussion importants, les éléments nécessitant des commentaires supplémentaires ou les éléments en attente de commentaires du processus de révision. Le but du registre d’amélioration en continu est de faciliter les modifications (révision, ajout et suppression).
