Protect Your Payments Workshop

Protect Your Payments is a workshop for the NSW and QLD building and construction industry.

In these tough financial times, it has become increasingly important for construction companies to recover your payments in full and on time.

Why should you attend this seminar? Because your business IS a CASH FLOW business

No matter what product or service you provide within the Building & Construction industry, you need cash.

You may have even been the unfortunate victim of your payment being held up on a large project where you had invested a lot of resources into. Luckily, you have the LAW on your side.

Called the 'Security of Payments Act' in NSW or the Building and Construction Industry Payments Act (BCIPA) in QLD, it helps you claim for money rightfully owing to you if you are a:

Standard = $440 (inc. GST)

Discounts for:
*5% for Members of AIB, AIBS, RICS, HIA, MBA, EngAust, APESMA, RAIA

For larger teams, save time on travel by having Scott in your office for your own in-house training session.

All workshop participants will receive a free 60 day trial subscription to the Annotated Building and Construction Industry Payments Act. The services set out each provision of the applicable Act and provide a commentary on the case law which is applicable. Additionally there is a section for decisions which don't fit neatly under any particular provision as well as an index of all cases. Every word of the service, including case names and references, are instantly searchable allowing instant recall of the information and/or cases sought.

The service is designed to be run on an internet connected computer so all cases may be directly accessed from on-line databases. No more endless searching for that decision which you know covers the issue!

A qualified lawyer and negotiator, Scott has been involved in steering committees that designed and promoted the 2003 changes and has also been involved in the implementation of the legislation in Queensland and Victoria. Most recently, Scott was the Chief Executive Officer of LEADR (ANA in QLD, NSW, VIC). Scott was the lead trainer teaching the Adjudicators and has a comprehensive knowledge of the Act.

What have past participants thought of the workshop?

“Excellent informative afternoon, but would only see Scott if he was on our side of the table.”
~ Linda Smith, Administrator, Leighton Contractors

There is a fundamental lack of knowledge...with the architectural fraternity about the Security of Payments Act. [Scott Pettersson is a] good speaker with a genuine passion for the subject matter. [He] managed to make a reasonably dry subject interesting and informative"
~ Paul Stephenson, Architect, Suters Architects

Why did you attend this workshop?
"Boss's idea - glad he did. I have learnt an extreme amount and will go over this booklet again several times trying to learn it all."

Now that you’ve completed the course, what do think?
"Very interesting with a little humour in the right areas. Walking out with a whole world of knowledge I never had this morning. Very informative, interesting and well-presented. Actually wasn't bored as one normally is during seminars and people just talking at you."
~ Lee-Ann Taylor, HR Administrator, Mr Scaffold

"Very good presentation. 5 out of 5."
~ Bill Tranberg, Chief Engineer, Port of Brisbane Corporation
