Singapore Construction Adjudication Review [2011]

The Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act was enacted in 2005 to facilitate payments for construction work done or for related goods or services supplied in the building and construction industry. The Act states that any party who has carried out construction work or supplied related goods or services in the building and construction industry under a contract made in writing has a statutory right to receive progress payment, even in the absence of such provision in the contract. 

In a dispute, an independent adjudicator, whose determination is binding, decides the amount to be paid in a claim made under the Act and the adjudicated amount must be paid by the due date. 

The Singapore Construction Adjudication Review series is the authoritative report of adjudication determinations made under the Act.
