Construction Invoice Information
The City of St. Albert is following the guidelines of the Prompt Payment and Construction Lien Act (“the Act”) for contracts entered on August 29, 2022 or later.
A proper invoice is a written bill or other request for payment of the work done or materials provided under a construction contract.
According to the Act, proper invoices must contain all the following:
- Contractor’s name and business address
- Date of the invoice
- The period during the work was done or materials were provided
- A description of the work done or materials provided
- Amount requested for payment
- Payment terms, broken down for the work done or materials provided
- Name, title, and contact information of the person to be paid
If a proper invoice is not provided, the date of receipt will be revised to the future date of receiving a proper invoice. This is to ensure compliance of the “Act” and the 28-day timeline to pay invoices. Related Pages
