Last summer, Foothills Soccer Club unveiled its brand-new indoor facility, the only type of field house of its kind in Western Canada.

But while they’re happy with the facility, they’re not so thrilled with the company that built it, filing a nearly $1-million lawsuit against Ricklan Construction Ltd. over delays in completing the project and deficiencies that haven’t been corrected, says a statement of claim.

The document, filed in Calgary Court of Queen’s Bench, alleges Ricklan Construction Ltd. was supposed to have the indoor field house ready for use by Jan. 31, 2017.

But the claim, naming Foothills Soccer Dome Inc. as the plaintiff, says Ricklan didn’t substantially complete the project until June 15, 2017, delaying opening of the facility until July 2017.

“As a result of Ricklan’s unreasonable delays, Foothills suffered losses,” the statement of claim alleges.

Among those were revenue it would have received and additional building costs.
