Not legal advice
This generator prepares a document from information you type in. It does not check whether you are entitled to claim, whether the amount is right, or whether the claim meets the requirements of the Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act 1999 (NSW). Nobody here reviews your claim.
What it does
Asks structured questions, carries your answers into a payment claim, produces a PDF and a list of attachments, and keeps a record in your browser. That is document preparation. It is not legal advice, and using it does not create a solicitor–client relationship.
What it does not do
It does not decide whether you can claim, serve the claim for you, calculate or monitor your deadlines, judge whether a response you receive is a valid payment schedule, or represent you in adjudication or court.
When to stop and get a lawyer
Speak to a NSW construction lawyer if the builder disputes defects, variations or valuation; if you receive a payment schedule for less than you claimed and want to contest it; if a deadline is close or may have passed; if the respondent may be insolvent; or if the matter is heading to adjudication or enforcement. These involve judgement about the merits, which this tool deliberately does not attempt.
Where else to look
NSW Fair Trading publishes guidance on security of payment, and the authorised nominating authorities publish the adjudication process. Neither is a substitute for advice about your own matter.
