About Construction Lawyer Brisbane

Understanding the critical nature of payment disputes in the building and construction industry, our law firm is committed to upholding the rights and interests of builders and contractors for Spring Hill and its surrounding suburbs. Our team, led by a seasoned construction law expert, offers tailored legal solutions to enforce progress payments as mandated by the Building Industry Fairness (Security of Payment) Act 2017. We’re dedicated to resolving insolvency issues and ensuring our clients receive the payments they are rightfully entitled to.
Understanding the Security of Payment Act
The Building Industry Fairness (Security of Payment) Act 2017 plays a pivotal role in the Australian construction sector. It safeguards the rights of those involved in construction work or supplying building materials, ensuring they receive timely progress payments. This legislation not only streamlines the process of resolving payment disputes but also aims to significantly reduce insolvency rates in the industry. Under this Act, builders and suppliers are legally entitled to progress payments, while principals are obligated to either make these payments or provide a detailed payment schedule, promoting fairness and stability in construction-related transactions.
