Understanding the Security of Payment Act

The Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act 1999 is designed to help contractors, developers, suppliers, and subcontractors claim progress payments for the work done or goods and services provided. The Act outlines clear timeframes that parties must adhere to, making it a reliable legal framework for recovering overdue payments effectively.
