Adjudication & Security of Payment
Practical guidance through every stage of the security of payment process
Cashflow is critical on construction projects. Queensland’s security of payment regime provides a fast-track process for resolving payment disputes — but only if the statutory steps are followed correctly. We act for builders and contractors in relation to payment claims, payment schedules and adjudication applications, including urgent strategic advice where timelines are tight.
When you might need adjudication advice
✓ Preparing or responding to a payment claim
✓ Drafting a compliant payment schedule
✓ Considering whether to commence adjudication
✓ Responding to an adjudication application
✓ Enforcing an adjudication decision
Adjudication and security of payment disputes often sit alongside broader construction disputes including unresolved variation and extension of time issues — see our Construction Disputes & Litigation and Variations, EOTs & Claims services for related advice.
