The government has established the Construction Industry Security of Payment as a mechanism for improving the delay payment problems among contracting parties, which have existed in the construction industry for a long time. This stipulates provisions to improve contractual payment terms, establish an adjudication mechanism to resolve disputes quickly, and grant unpaid parties the right to suspend or slow down the progress of work or services under the circumstances specified in the legislation, to ensure that all stakeholders can get their entitled payment in a timely manner. Through an interactive learning approach, this workshop will make use of lecture, discussion and case studies to illustrate the key elements that officers have to be alerted to.
