What is Security of Payment?
The Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act 1999 (NSW) empowers claimants to demand, receive, and recover owed payments from liable parties. This crucial legislation benefits contractors, developers, suppliers, and subcontractors involved in projects across Gosford and nearby locales like Umina Beach and Terrigal. It enables them to claim progress payments for their rendered services or supplied goods. The Act also establishes a systematic process for addressing issues of late or non-payment. Notably, the Act enforces strict and concise time frames that all parties must adhere to, ensuring a fair and efficient resolution process.
