What is Security of Payment?
The Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act 1999 (NSW) is a pivotal legal framework in the construction sector. It empowers claimants, contractors, suppliers, developers, or subcontractors, with the rightful entitlement to demand and recover payments for tasks performed or goods and services rendered. Specifically designed to address the prevalent issues of delayed or non-payment in the construction realm, this Act outlines a systematic procedure for claimants to follow when facing such challenges. Crucially, it’s essential to be aware that the Act dictates stringent and concise timelines, necessitating prompt action and adherence from all involved parties.
