Payment Claim Health Check
Before a deadline passes or a dispute starts, know where you stand. We review your payment claims, payment schedules and notices against the contract and the Construction Contracts Act, and tell you in plain language what is solid, what is at risk and what to do next.
Who it is for
- Subcontractors whose claims are being cut or paid late
- Contractors deciding whether to go to adjudication
- Principals and head contractors who receive claims and need their schedules to hold up
What we check
- Whether your payment claims are valid under the Construction Contracts Act
- Whether payment schedules were served on time and say what they must
- Notices, time bars and key dates under your contract (NEC, NZS 3910, FIDIC or bespoke)
- Variations and extension of time entitlement against the records
- Your options: negotiate, suspend, adjudicate or settle
