Our Services
The Security of Payment Act
Our expertise at Construction Lawyer Brisbane extends to the comprehensive application of the Building Industry Fairness (Security of Payment) Act 2017. This pivotal legislation is a critical tool for contractors of Logan City and surrounding areas, offering a robust framework for enforcing debt recovery. The density and dynamic construction environment of these regions necessitate a keen understanding of this law for effective debt management. We assist our clients through every step, from preparing Payment Claims and Payment Schedules to guiding them through the Adjudication process. Our focus is to ensure that our clients are equipped to leverage this law for swift and effective payment recovery.
Other Methods for Construction Debt Recovery
While the Security of Payment Act is a primary method, we also offer guidance on alternative approaches for construction debt recovery. These include:
- Legal Proceedings: In cases where adjudication does not resolve disputes, we represent our clients in legal proceedings to pursue debts, with a court’s judgement bringing clarity and resolution.
- Subcontractors’ Charges: We assist subcontractors in securing their payments by placing a charge on properties, offering a form of security for unpaid work.
- Suspension of Work: In instances where payment claims are ignored, we counsel clients on the strategic use of work suspension, a measure that can significantly impact project timelines and compel payment.
Our commitment at Construction Lawyer Brisbane is to provide tailored solutions for construction debt recovery, aligning with the unique needs of each client for Logan City and its suburbs.
