What is Security of Payment?

The Security of Payment Act, particularly the Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act 1999 (NSW), is a crucial legislation for the construction industry. It empowers contractors, developers, suppliers, and subcontractors to demand and recover payments for their work or supplied goods and services. The Act provides a structured process to address issues of late or non-payment. Compliance with strict and short time frames is essential for all parties involved.
