Prompt Payment regulations and requirements to legally comply with the Construction Act are now entering year 3. Any contracts signed during the pandemic, and those signed any time in 2022 are subject to the regulations. No matter how large, or how small. If you are an architect or engineer in charge of advising your client on progress payment, you must understand clearly how the regulation and paperwork flow works. Gone are the days of applications for payment and payment certificates being in full control of the payment timeline. In fact, gone are the days of CCDC setting down the process in contract like it used to. If you are a project owner, you must comply, or risk being taken through an adjudication process. If you are a prime contractor and have not revised the structure of your invoice for compliance, you are at risk of not being paid on time. If you are a subcontractor, you need to know when the prime contractor proper invoice was submitted. If you do not know this information, you cannot track when you will get paid. You have a right to that information.
This 3 hour on-line LIVE course will walk attendees through all of the logistics of compliance in order to avoid adjudication and keep payments flowing to all contractors and suppliers on the project.

One of Canada’s largest nuclear research facilities
being built in Chalk River
Building a nuclear facility is complex and requires years of planning and a collaborative approach, but once complete, the Advanced Nuclear Materials Research Centre (ANMRC) will be one of the largest nuclear research facilities ever constructed in Canada. As the largest single capital investment in the revitalization of the Chalk River campus, the ANMRC will be a 10,000 square metre research complex that will accommodate 240 employees and consolidate key capabilities from aging facilities that are scheduled for decommissioning.
Construction officially began in early September in Chalk River, Ont. The over $800 million laboratory research complex is being delivered using an Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) model. The IPD team leading the construction of ANMRC includes CNL, Chandos Construction Inc., Bird Construction Inc., M. Sullivan & Son Limited, Eclipse Automation, JP2G Consultants, RJC Engineers, Merrick & Company, Modern Niagara, MSE, Plan Group and Siemens.
The ANMRC will feature 12 new shielded cells that will enable post-irradiation examination of small modular reactor (SMR) and next-generation nuclear fuels, and glovebox facilities to support the development of advanced fuel fabrication concepts.
It’s part of a 10-year transformation of the Chalk River campus, funded through a $1.2 billion investment from Atomic Energy of Canada Limited, the owner of the site, on behalf of the Government of Canada.
Once complete, it will be one of the largest nuclear research facilities in Canada. The 10,000-sq. m. ANMRC is expected to be critical to the life extension and long-term reliability of existing reactors, including Canada’s fleet of CANDU reactors and other designs deployed around the world. It will also support the national nuclear laboratory’s other research priorities, such as public health, environmental stewardship and global security.
In addition, a new science collaboration centre recently began construction, a new industrial-use support facility was inaugurated, a new site entrance building was completed, and several science facilities have been opened over the last few years, including a brand-new hydrogen laboratory complex, a new materials research laboratory, and a new tritium research facility.
