What is Security of Payment?
Understanding the Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act
The Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act 1999 (NSW) is a pivotal legal framework that empowers claimants with the right to demand, receive, and recover rightful payments from those responsible for the obligation.
This Act serves as a vital safeguard for contractors, developers, suppliers, and subcontractors who seek to obtain progress payments for the services they’ve rendered or goods supplied. It introduces a systematic process that claimants can utilise when faced with instances of delayed or non-payment.
It’s imperative to highlight that the Act imposes stringent and concise timeframes, mandating the adherence of all parties involved. These timeframes ensure that claims are processed efficiently, underscoring the Act’s commitment to expediting payment processes and fostering fair compensation within the construction industry.
