This event has been organised to provide builders and quantity surveyors with guidance on navigating compliant progress claims under the Security of Payment Act (SOPA).
Attendees will gain a clear understanding of how builders should structure their progress claims to meet legislative requirements, including the importance of clearly identifying the work completed, referencing contractual entitlements, and ensuring claims are properly supported with documentation and timelines.
The session will also outline how to achieve compliance with the Security of Payment Act, focusing on key obligations such as valid payment claims, serving requirements, and strict timeframes. Common pitfalls and non-compliance risks will be highlighted, equipping participants with strategies to avoid disputes and maintain cash flow certainty.
For quantity surveyors, the event will explore what must be included in a robust assessment of a progress claim, including valuation methodologies, contract interpretation, and supporting evidence. It will also address the professional and procedural steps required when assessing claims, including issuing clear reasons, maintaining impartiality, and ensuring compliance with contractual and statutory obligations.
This session is essential for professionals seeking clarity, consistency, and confidence in managing progress claims.
