What is Security of Payment?
The Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act 1999 (NSW) (Act) empowers claimants with the right to demand, receive, and recover owed payments from liable parties. This legislation offers crucial support to contractors, developers, suppliers, and subcontractors, enabling them to secure progress payments for completed works, goods, and services. In the event of late or non-payment, the Act outlines a structured process for claimants to pursue. It’s vital to recognize that the Act enforces strict, time-sensitive requirements for all parties involved.
