Security of Payment: Responding to a payment claim from subcontractors
The Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act (SOPA) in NSW can help builders and subcontractors resolve payment disputes without having to initiate costly legal proceedings.
The subcontractor or supplier seeking payment must issue a payment claim and you are requested to provide a payment schedule on receipt of that claim.
In this handy resource, get the answers to our members’ frequently asked questions about SOPA, payment disputes, the timeline you need to adhere to, adjudication and how the Act can help you resolve payment issues.
