The Security Of Payments Act Is a Fast 3 Step Process

“The object of the Security Of Payments Act is to ensure that any person who undertakes to carry out construction work (or who undertakes to supply related goods and services) under a construction contract is entitled to receive, and is able to recover, progress payments in relation to the carrying out of that work and the supplying of those goods and services.”

This site provides a comprehensive Building & Construction Industry Security Of Payments Act guide to assist you in determining where you are at in the process and what is your next step.

The Security Of Payments Act is state based legislation.

Making a claim under the Building & Construction Industry Security Of Payment Act legislation for the state where the construction project that you worked on is located, and known as the Building Industry Fairness Act (BIFA) in Queensland, starts with serving a valid payment claim.

Use the Online Claim Form button above, to the right, or below to commence the process that will lead to adjudication and a fast enforceable judgement.

The Building & Construction Industry Security Of Payments Act legislation that applies is determined by which state the construction project for which the works were carried out, or for which related goods and services were provided, is located.

The Building & Construction Industry Security Of Payments Act legislation provides for a payment dispute resolution that is controlled by strict time frames and processes. Unlike traditional debt recovery and litigation the timeframes and costs are predictable and reliable.
