Merolla’s new website https://securityofpaymentsactqld.com.au/ in its introduction section breaks down in plain language the purpose of the Security of Payments Act of Queensland. “The main purpose of the Security of Payments Act QLD is to help contractors working in the building and construction industry in being paid for the work they do.”

Additionally, the user-friendly website addresses the multiple components of the Act such as the claim process, payment claim requirements, payment schedule, adjudication application and response, and commonly asked questions. Commonly asked questions include important points such as,

  • I made a mistake in my payment claim, can I adjust the scope and value?
  • Are the periods of time allocated for the various actions in the SOP Act suggested or mandatory?
  • Are all works in a building ‘construction works’ under the SOP Act?
  • Am I allowed to charge for supervision, overhead and profit when firming up a PC sum?
