What is Security of Payment?
The Security of Payment Act, also known as the Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act 1999 (NSW), grants crucial rights and entitlements to claimants in the construction industry. It allows contractors, developers, suppliers, and subcontractors to demand and recover progress payments for the work they have completed or goods and services provided. This legislation provides a structured process for claimants to address issues of delayed or non-payment. It is essential to adhere to the Act’s strict and concise time frames, ensuring compliance by all parties involved. With the Act in place, claimants gain the confidence and support needed to secure their rightful payments promptly.
