Construction Contracts Act videos and fact sheets
Building and Energy has undertaken a full redesign of the section of our website which provides information and guidance to industry and the general public in respect of the Construction Contracts Act 2004 (the CCA). The CCA establishes a process through which construction sector participants can access fast, cost effective dispute resolution services in respect of payment disputes under construction contracts.
Building and Energy has developed a series of short, accessible videos and accompanying fact sheets on the following topics concerning the CCA:
- Topic one: An overview of the CCA
- Topic two: How to make a payment claim under the implied provisions of the CCA
- Topic three: How to apply for adjudication
- Topic four: How to respond to an application for adjudication
- Topic five: The “determination” (or decision-making) process of the adjudicator
Free contract management seminars
