Leveraging the provisions of the Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act 1999 (NSW), we assist you in issuing compliant Payment Claims. This legal mechanism helps ensure prompt and regular payments for your construction work and associated goods or services, even when progress payment provisions are absent from the contract.
