You can sue them in Small Claims Court and don't even need a lawyer. It will take a while. You will need the order before you can garnish their accounts.
What you can do now is place a lien on the condo. This is done through the Land Titles office. You will need to fill out what is called Form 5.
You can permitted to do this under the BC Builders Lien Act.
Subcontractors are permitted to do so for unpaid work or for unpaid delivery of supplies.
The lien will be good for a year. Before that time you will have to commence a legal action, get a certificate of pending litigation and file it on title.
It's imperative that you file the lien quickly.
You can use a lawyer to help you if you feel you can't do it on your own.
If you don't know any lawyers you can contact the Law Society of BC and use their Lawyer Referral Service.
I hope this helps as a starting point.
