Our Services
The Security of Payment Act
At Construction Lawyer Brisbane, we specialise in navigating the Building Industry Fairness (Security of Payment) Act 2017, a key legislation for contractors of Redland City and its surrounding areas. This act serves as an effective tool for enforcing debt recovery, providing a structured and favourable legal framework for contractors to secure their payments. Our expertise includes assisting clients with Payment Claims, Payment Schedules, and guiding them through the Adjudication process, ensuring they utilise the most efficient and cost-effective methods for debt recovery.
Other Methods for Construction Debt Recovery
Beyond the Security of Payment Act, we offer guidance on various alternative legal avenues for debt recovery. This includes initiating legal proceedings for unresolved disputes, where a court judgement can offer resolution. We also assist with Subcontractors’ Charges, enabling subcontractors to secure a charge on properties as a guarantee for unpaid work. Additionally, we advise on the strategic suspension of work in cases where contractors fail to respond to payment claims, understanding the significant impact this can have on project timelines and costs. Our goal is to provide comprehensive solutions, tailored to the unique circumstances of each client, ensuring the recovery of construction debt owed to them.
