What is Security of Payment?
The Security of Payment Act in NSW, officially known as the Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act 1999, empowers claimants to demand, receive, and recover owed money from parties liable for payment. This legislation supports contractors, developers, suppliers, and subcontractors in claiming progress payments for the services rendered and goods supplied. In cases of delayed or non-payment, the Act outlines a structured process for claimants to follow. It is vital to adhere to the Act’s strict and short time frames, ensuring prompt action for a fair and efficient resolution of payment disputes. Understanding the Act’s provisions is crucial for safeguarding the payment rights of construction industry participants.
