What is Security of Payment?
The Security of Payment Act, specifically the Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act 1999 (NSW), grants important rights and entitlements to claimants in the construction industry. It enables contractors, developers, suppliers, and subcontractors to demand, receive, and recover payments from those liable to pay for the work or supplied goods and services.
The Act offers a process for claimants to obtain progress payments promptly and address issues of late or non-payment. However, it’s crucial to acknowledge the Act’s strict and short time frames that all parties must adhere to. This legal framework ensures a fair and efficient system for resolving payment disputes within the construction sector.
