Construction Documents that Require Commissioning

While not every document you encounter during a project will need to be seen by a notary, there are a few that you won’t be able to avoid. These include: 

• Statutory Declaration of Progress Payment Distribution: This document is available in two different formats, CCDC 9A for prime contractors and CCDC 9B for subcontractors.
  • Additional CCDC Forms
• Forms for the Declaration of Last Supply Under Subsection 31(5): Form 5 and under the Construction Lien Act allows suppliers to declare that services or materials were supplied to satisfy and complete a contract, while Form 7 certifies the completion of a subcontract.
• Statutory Declaration (Contractor): This document, DCL044, verifies that the contractor has distributed the money received from Defence Construction Canada to pay others working on the current project.
  • Additional Defence Construction Canada Forms

In addition to forms like the ones listed above, you’re also likely to need notary services if you’re requesting official building plans, and to verify permits or specific licences. Depending on your staff members’ roles in the project, they may also require commissioned personal documentation like criminal background checks. With access to an online notary solution for your company, you’ll be able to save thousands by avoiding the hassle of in-person notary appointments.
