Respond to a Payment Claim

​
Are you a prime contractor, sub-contractor, home owner, owner builder or strata scheme?

Has someone made a Payment Claim for building work, services or materials against you?   

You MUST respond within a specific timeframe. 

Ignoring the claim will make the situation much worse.

If you have been supplied with construction work, services, equipment or materials to a construction site, and you receive a Payment Claim, you must either:

a) Pay the Payment Claim amount in full, or

b) Respond to a Payment Claim with a Payment Schedule.

To make things as simple as possible before you start, you will need to gather all your information and documents.

1. Your details, company name and ACN, or sole trader details.

2. A copy of the Payment Claim you have received and any attachments or evidence provided in the Payment Claim.

3. Any contracts, agreements, purchase orders, site instructions or notes that relates to the Payment Claim.

4. Outline of your Payment Schedule, which relates to the Payment Claim and itemises:
- What items in the Payment Claim will be paid;
- What items in the Payment Claim will NOT be paid and why;
- Evidence of why these items will NOT be paid.
