Our Services

At Contracts Specialist, we are dedicated to facilitating a smooth debt recovery process for you, leveraging a variety of services grounded in over 13 years of experience in construction law. Our services encompass:

Letter of Demand

A crucial initial step in debt recovery, a letter of demand serves as a formal request urging the repayment of a debt owed for construction work and related services. It aims to resolve payment issues promptly, potentially avoiding court intervention.

Payment Claim

We assist you in issuing compliant payment claims under the provisions of the Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act 1999 (NSW), ensuring prompt and regular payments for your construction work, even in the absence of progress payment provisions in the contract.

Adjudication Application

In instances of disagreement over payment schedules or delayed payments, we guide you through the adjudication process, a precursor to court proceedings, facilitating faster resolution and adherence to the necessary legal frameworks.

Tribunal and Court

When the situation calls for legal intervention, we stand by you in navigating the NCAT or court proceedings, proficiently handling the drafting of your Statement of Claim and enforcing judgement debts, ensuring a streamlined navigation through the complex legal landscape.
