10 critical areas analyzed

Every contract is reviewed across the risk categories that matter most for real estate buyers.

Deposit & Payment Structure

Reviews deposit schedules, payment conditions, and whether your money is protected in trust.

Termination & Default

Identifies what triggers default, forfeiture clauses, and whether the builder can walk away without penalty.

Occupancy Date & Timeline

Checks completion dates, delay provisions, and whether the builder can extend deadlines indefinitely.

Vendor's Unilateral Powers

Flags clauses that let the builder change specs, substitute materials, or alter the deal without your consent.

Lawyer Conflict of Interest

Detects if the builder's lawyer is also representing you, or if independent legal advice was waived.

Related-Party Relationships

Uncovers connections between the builder, lawyer, realtor, and other parties that may not be disclosed.

Non-Disparagement & Confidentiality

Identifies clauses that restrict your ability to leave reviews, share your experience, or discuss the contract.

Buyers who wished they had this sooner

Real stories from pre-construction buyers across Canada

"I was about to sign a $580K pre-con condo in Mississauga. ContractCheck found that the builder could change my unit size by up to 5% without my consent AND there was no mutual release clause. My lawyer confirmed these were serious issues. Saved me from a nightmare."

RP

Ravi P.

Ontario · Pre-Construction Condo

"My lawyer charged me $3,500 and basically said 'it's standard.' ContractCheck found 12 red flags in 5 minutes — including that the builder's property manager and lawyer were the same family. $49 vs $3,500 and the AI caught more."

SK

Sarah K.

Alberta · Pre-Construction Townhome

"I'm closing on a pre-con in Surrey and was panicking about the appraisal gap. The chat feature walked me through my exact options — assignment, mutual release, even helped me draft an email to the builder. Worth way more than $99."

Frequently asked questions

What is an Agreement of Purchase and Sale (APS)?
An Agreement of Purchase and Sale is the legally binding contract between you and a builder when purchasing a pre-construction home or condo. It outlines the purchase price, deposit schedule, completion timeline, and all the terms governing the transaction. These contracts are typically drafted by the builder's lawyers and heavily favor the builder.
What red flags should I look for in a pre-construction contract?
Common red flags include: unlimited delay clauses that let the builder push occupancy indefinitely, unilateral powers to change specifications or materials, high deposit schedules without trust protection, non-disparagement clauses that silence you from sharing your experience, and the builder's lawyer also acting for you (conflict of interest). ContractCheck analyzes all of these and more. For a detailed walkthrough, read our guides on 7 red flags in a pre-construction APS and the 2026 appraisal-gap playbook.
Is ContractCheck a substitute for legal advice?
No. ContractCheck is an educational tool that helps you understand what's in your contract. It is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. We strongly recommend consulting with an independent real estate lawyer before signing any purchase agreement. Our analysis helps you know which questions to ask and what to look for.
Which provinces does ContractCheck support?
ContractCheck supports contracts from all Canadian provinces and territories. Our AI is trained on the common patterns and risks found in pre-construction agreements across Canada, with particularly deep knowledge of Ontario, Alberta, and British Columbia contracts where pre-construction activity is highest.
How long does the analysis take?
Most contracts are analyzed within 2-5 minutes. You'll receive a detailed report covering all 10 risk categories, with severity ratings and plain-language explanations for each finding.
