Payment Disputes

Payment disputes are common building problems in Sydney. Homeowners usually do not pay their builders if they are not satisfied with the builder’s work, or the builder could not show evidence that their construction work has been completed. Yet, the Security of Payment Act protects their right to get paid for their work.

Payment Disputes you may encounter

Here are some of the types of payment disputes that you may encounter as a homeowner or a contractor:

If you happen to experience any of these payment disputes and you are a builder or contractor, talk with your client. If you’re a subcontractor, then negotiate with your head contractor, especially when they are still withholding your retention even though you have completed your work.

Whatever your role is in the construction project, never forget to issue a payment claim, especially when initial negotiations are not enough. This document is evidence that you have indeed done construction work and you have the right to be paid for it.

With the payment claim, recovering money becomes easier as the client would be obliged to pay within a payment schedule.
