About Our Law Firm

We provide expert legal services to local contractors, developers, suppliers, and subcontractors, ensuring they receive due payments for their hard work and contributions.

Understanding the Security of Payment Act

The Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act 1999 (QLD) is a vital piece of legislation designed to ensure that those in the construction industry are paid promptly and fairly. This act provides a structured process for claiming and recovering money owed for construction work and related services. It is crucial for all parties in the construction chain to comply with the strict and short time frames laid out by the Act to avoid complications and ensure steady cash flow.
