Subbies and Head Contractors take note

Proposed changes to the Construction Contracts Act 2002 means better outcomes for trade industry subbies and head contractors trying to get paid on the completion of jobs. The proposed amendment to the Act means that retention monies previously withheld against potentially defective work will be more formally managed and accounted for correctly. The move sees subcontractors elevated from bottom-of-the-barrel status of being an unsecured creditor to a status that sits right up the top along with the likes of the IRD, which we think is great news!
