The general contractor still went to court to keep $703,000 of its holdback, and the whole fight came down to one date.\nKosta and Johny break down Bradley-Kelly v. AtkinsRéalis, the Ontario case over the Trillium Line extension. They cover how a sub four levels down the chain gets caught when the companies above it fall out, how the 60-day lien clock works, and why a lien on a public job goes against the holdback instead of the property. They also explain what holdback is and why it applies to a $40,000 reno as much as a transit line. Johny shares the lien dispute where GPS timesheets were the proof that won it.\nThe case was saved by records that showed when the work finished. Jobtable’s daily logs keep a dated record of every day on the job, with notes and photos you can send to your client in one click, and timesheets record where your crew clocked in and out.\n👉 Learn more at https://www.jobtable.com\nNew episodes every week.
