Expert support for payment claims and adjudication under the Building Industry Fairness (Security of Payment) Act 2017 (QLD).
The Building Industry Fairness (Security of Payment) Act 2017 (QLD) (BIF Act) is Queensland’s key legislation designed to ensure fair and timely payments in the construction industry.
Late payments are one of the biggest risks in construction. The BIF Act helps you:
Maintain steady
cash flow
Avoid lengthy
court disputes
Enforce your right
to be paid
Keep projects
moving
Adjudication is a fast-track dispute resolution process under the BIF Act that allows you to recover unpaid claims quickly.
You submit a valid payment claim under the BIF Act.
The respondent must respond within strict timeframes.
If unpaid or disputed, you apply for adjudication through an authorised nominating authority (ANA).
An adjudicator reviews submissions and determines the amount payable.
If unpaid, the decision can be enforced as a court judgment debt.
Don’t let delayed or disputed payments impact your cash flow. Get expert guidance under the BIF Act (QLD) and take action with confidence.
