Not been paid for construction work? We may be able to help.
If you’re a contractor, subcontractor, tradesperson, or construction business struggling because payment hasn’t come in, you may have rights under the Construction Act, as long as the work is not for a residential occupier.
This can apply to many types of non-residential construction work, including:
🏗️ Building, alteration, repair, maintenance, extension or demolition
🧱 Groundworks, foundations, brickwork and structural works
🔧 Mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating and ventilation works
🪟 Roofing, glazing, plastering, decorating and fit-out works
🛣️ Roads, drainage, utilities, civil engineering and infrastructure works
🌳 Landscaping and external works
📐 Architectural, design, surveying and engineering services
👷 Labour supplied for construction operations
The Construction Act can help with issues such as unpaid invoices, payment notices, pay less notices, suspension for non-payment, and adjudication.
If you’ve carried out non-residential construction work and are still waiting to be paid, don’t ignore it. Get in touch and we’ll help you understand your options.
