Security Under the Alberta Builders' Lien Act

When registered in accordance with the Alberta Builders' Lien Act, a builders' lien provides security for unpaid contractors, labourers and suppliers who have "improved" lands. This includes those providing materials or services in connection with the recovery of a mineral on an oil and gas well site.
