The current Construction Act is intended to deal with two main situations. The first is to ensure a speedier and cheaper means of resolving construction disputes. The second is to increase cash flow in the construction industry by improving procedures relating to payments.
This is a major benefit to sub-contractors. If a sub-contractor is not paid on time or in full, adjudication provides a quick and relatively cheap remedy.
I can:
- Advise on the payment provisions of the current Construction Act
- Advise on the steps and procedures to take in the event of late or non-payment
- Prepare the appropriate response under the payment provisions
- Prepare and issue the referral notice for adjudication if necessary
