Document background
The Construction Easement Agreement is a vital legal instrument in Canadian property and construction law, used when temporary access to or use of property is required for construction activities. This document becomes necessary when a party needs to perform construction work that requires access to or use of another's property, whether for equipment staging, temporary structures, or access routes. The agreement protects both the property owner's interests and the constructor's rights while ensuring compliance with provincial property laws, local building codes, and municipal regulations. A properly drafted Construction Easement Agreement should clearly define the scope of permitted activities, duration, compensation, insurance requirements, and restoration obligations, while addressing potential liabilities and risks associated with the construction work. It's particularly crucial in urban development, infrastructure projects, and situations where construction activities impact adjacent properties.
