BIF Act and Security of Payment subcontractors - as a claimant what are my biggest risks

There are two massive risks for subcontractors and trade contractors:

  1. Not getting paid.

  2. Not enforcing your right to be paid in time.

With the longest time frame to take action under the BIF Act being 30 business days, you need to know your options if you don’t get paid.

See our article "As a subcontractor claimant - what are my biggest risks?" for more information.
