What it does
For a payment claim in New South Wales or Queensland, work out the payment schedule deadline, the payment due date and the adjudication deadlines under the security of payment laws.
Ask your AI
Calculate Australian construction payment-claim dates. Ask me for any detail you need first, then show the result with its source and date, and list anything a person should check.
What comes back
Counts each Act’s business days; Queensland also needs the show-holiday district of the site.
Good to know
- Counts each Act’s business days; Queensland also needs the show-holiday district of the site.
- An unknown contract term gets no deadline, and an adjudication date without a schedule or notice date is labelled as hypothetical.
- Residential work needs to know whether the owner lives there. Victoria is not calculated yet. General information, not legal advice.
