Knowles Southern Region Autumn 2011 Breakfast Briefings
Significant Changes to the Construction Act Do you know how this will affect your company?
The introduction of the changes to the Housing Grants Construction and Regeneration Act 1996 (the Construction Act) which will come into force on 1 October 2011, will have a huge impact on the management of payments and adjudications.
Everyone involved in the construction industry will need to act now to ensure they are ready. Key changes which will affect your business include:
• New payment notice provisions (including the right to withhold sums due which will give rise to potential pitfalls)
• Pay when certified banned • Revised right to suspend work
• Contracts no longer need be in writing; this will massively expand rights in respect of both payment and adjudication
Other issues to consider are:
• Who pays the cost of adjudication • The adjudicator’s power to correct his decision
We are running a number of autumn seminars throughout September and October which will highlight the changes to the Construction Act. All seminars will include a light breakfast and notes/diagrams explaining the implications of the new payment provisions. CPD certificates will be provided on request.
