Adjudication Support

Adjudication Support

BuildConex provides Security of Payment and adjudication advice across Australia, helping contractors and subcontractors prepare and respond to payment claims and adjudication applications.

How We Support Adjudication

Adjudication is a fast, interim process that turns on the quality of the claim material and the response. We help clients prepare payment claims and adjudication applications that clearly establish the statutory entitlement, the work done, and the amount properly payable. For respondents, we assist in reviewing the claim, preparing the payment schedule, and assembling the evidence needed to defend the adjudication.

Our work is grounded in the contract, the legislation, and the contemporaneous records. We focus on the technical and quantum merits so that legal advisers can present the strongest possible position.

Jurisdictional Nuance

Security of Payment regimes vary between States and Territories. Time limits, reference dates, payment claim formalities, and adjudication response periods differ, and a misstep can be fatal. We advise on the specific requirements in the relevant jurisdiction and ensure that the technical material is prepared within those constraints.

Claimant and Respondent Support

• Claimants: payment claims, adjudication applications, supporting schedules and evidence bundles
• Respondents: payment schedules, adjudication responses, jurisdictional objections and quantum defences
