Talk to MDL for assistance with the BCIPA
(Building and Construction Industry Payments Act 2004)
The BCIPA is designed to provide builders and subcontractors with a fast and reliable payment system, when undertaking construction work or supplying related goods and services.
To get the most out of the BCIPA, ensure you make every claim – and stop work if you haven’t been paid. You should also ensure that Claims, and Responses to Claims, comply with the Act.
MDL can assist you with preparing:
- Payment Claims
- Payment Schedules
- Adjudication Applications – which are made in the advent that a claimant is not satisfied with the amount outlined in a Payment Schedule
- Adjudication Responses – which are prepared in response to our Adjudication Application
- The review of an Adjudicator’s Decision to ensure that the adjudicator:
- had jurisdiction to determine the Adjudication Application
- has afforded procedural fairness to the parties
- did not make an error
- relied solely on the material presented to him or her by the applicant and respondent
- Obtaining an Adjudication Certificate, which arises out of an Adjudicator’s Decision
- Obtaining a judgment debt through the appropriate court based upon an Adjudication Certificate
