BC CONSTRUCTION INVOICES · UPDATED OCTOBER 2, 2026
Your BC construction invoice is overdue. Check the payment path and your deadlines.
A contractor in Vancouver, Victoria or the Interior may have an approved invoice caught between a site supervisor, general contractor and accounts payable. A useful follow-up asks what is missing and who can approve payment. Review any construction lien or legal deadline separately and promptly.
Where RemitRight can help
If the balance is agreed and you have an appropriate customer mobile contact, Remi can text about the invoice and offer full payment or a voluntary 3- or 5-month plan. The customer sees the total 3% or 5% plan fee before authorizing checkout. You review the invoice and authorize the first message.
There is no RemitRight business subscription, setup fee or collection commission. Standard card processing fees apply. Payment is not guaranteed.
Three checks before a payment request
Confirm the bill is complete
Match the invoice to the signed contract, change orders, delivery tickets and approved progress claim. Account for deposits, holdbacks, credits and payments already received.
Find who can release payment
The site contact, general contractor and accounts-payable team may be different people. Ask whether the invoice is approved and whether a document, job number or vendor-portal submission is missing.
Separate an agreed balance from a dispute
If the amount or completed work is contested, pause automated payment requests for owner review. If the balance is agreed and the payer needs time, discuss a voluntary installment choice.
For another business as the payer, the B2B accounts-payable guide explains how to find a purchase-order or vendor-portal hold before offering a plan.
A reminder does not protect a lien
BC lien time limits depend on the project and the legal event that starts the clock; the last day someone was on site is not always the right date. Do not use an invoice due date or a payment-plan discussion as a lien deadline. RemitRight does not calculate or alert on lien dates, file notices, enforce a lien or give legal advice.
If a lien, holdback or construction payment deadline could matter, review the current BC Builders Lien Act and seek qualified advice early. BC has also published a Construction Prompt Payment Act update; check its current commencement status before relying on any proposed timelines.
A disputed claim or legal deadline needs an owner or professional decision, even if a customer is open to paying voluntarily.
Have an agreed invoice waiting for payment?
Review the supporting records, confirm who should receive a message, then try RemitRight with one invoice.
