What is Security of Payment?
The Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act 1999 (NSW) empowers claimants to demand, receive, and recover payments from liable parties. This crucial legislation benefits contractors, suppliers, developers, and subcontractors by enabling them to claim progress payments for their work, goods, or services. In the face of delayed or absent payments, the Act offers a structured process for claimants. It’s vital to recognise that the Act enforces strict and concise timelines that all parties must adhere to, ensuring efficient resolution of payment issues.
