Security of Payments

We acknowledge the issues confronting the construction industry regarding security of payments.These flaws in the way the WA construction industry has been operating are currently being addressed by the government.

We strive to operate in a pro-active fashion in order to protect payments to Plus Building WA  and equally importantly, payments to sub contractors and suppliers, our partners in delivery, to assit us in ensuring that project income is only used for project expenses.

 

Payment Claims & Project Bank Accounts

We operate a separate bank account for each project formally administrated by the directors of the building company using a conventional claim process, or prepare head contract progress claims that are based on the construction management model where each project's sub contractor and and supplier invoices are assessed and certified for payment, the documents scanned and tabled for records and the head contract progress claim submitted accordingly.

 

Although more administration is required, these processes will provide great assurance to our partners in delivery - our sub contractors and suppliers.

 

Project Planning & Programming

Plus Building WA Pty Ltd use Microsoft Project to develop construction programmes for each project. In addition to project gantt charts, we use 2 and 4 week rolling programmmes to fine tune our delivery, which are communicated to trades on a weekly basis.
