The New South Wales framework
The relevant legislation is the Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act 1999 (NSW).
The payment claim, any payment schedule and the due date for payment determine the available adjudication pathway. Where no schedule was given and payment is overdue, a further statutory notice may be required before applying. We review that sequence before preparing the application.
Our preparation work
We review the parties and contract, identify the claimed entitlement, reconcile the amount and organise the evidence. The written case addresses the disputed issues and links them to the supporting documents.
Dates and documents
Provide the contract date, project location, each payment claim and schedule, the payment due date and evidence of when documents were sent and received. Include any earlier adjudication involving the same work.
