What is Security of Payments?

Under the Security of Payment Act (SOPA), progress payments are enforced, and payment disputes are quickly resolved. The Act’s primary objective is to grant progress payments to contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers, in accordance with the Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act 1999 (NSW)

Furthermore, it obliges the client to rightfully grant payments and promotes a fair process for both builders and clients under the Security and Payment Act 1999.

This legislation ensures that progress payments in the building and construction industry are enforced promptly and fairly. Our team at Contracts Specialist specialises in navigating the complexities of the  Building Industry Security of Payment Act, and handling SOPA payment issues, including SOPA payment claims.

The Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act of 1999, along with other relevant security of payment legislation, are essential components of our legal practice.

Security of Payment, as outlined in the Security of Payment Act, guarantees that individuals involved in construction work or the supply of goods and services under a construction contract can claim the money owed to them.

This legislation entitles builders to progress claims without waiting for the end of the contract to receive payment.

Additionally, it empowers builders with the right to defend themselves against unjustified non-payments, in line with the Building Industry Security of Payment Act and other relevant security of payment legislation.
