Subcontractors' Charges in Sydney

Subcontractors' Charges in Sydney

Subcontractors' charges are a Queensland statutory mechanism under the Building Industry Fairness (Security of Payment) Act 2017 (Qld); New South Wales has no equivalent charge regime. From Sydney we advise on charge creation and enforcement for Queensland projects, and on NSW alternatives when head contractors fail to pay.

Our Sydney office serves subcontractors recovering payment from head contractors across New South Wales. We combine legal qualifications with engineering and construction experience, so we understand the technical realities behind the documents and disputes.

Why Choose Our Sydney Team

• Protect payment rights against head contractor insolvency
• Lodge charges over money owed by principals on Queensland projects
• Enforce subcontractors' charges in the Supreme Court of Queensland
• Use NSW SOP Act adjudication for New South Wales projects

Whether your matter involves a local project in Sydney or a regional engagement across New South Wales, we provide practical advice that reflects the local construction market and the relevant legislation. We regularly work with the Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act 1999 (NSW), Building Commission NSW, and the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal (NCAT) when required.

We also coordinate with our national team in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, and Darwin for matters that cross state borders or require multi-jurisdictional strategy.
