Subcontractors or specialist trade contractors are also at risk of not being paid for the work they have done or materials they have supplied such as windows or plastering.
BUILDSAFE® wants to help all subcontractors and suppliers who are working on building projects for home owners and/or main contractors.
To assist these parties, BUILDSAFE® has an Application Form so that subcontractors can register to use the Service - this can be done as part of your terms of trade.
In addition, we do require any contractor who is using the Scheme to invite any subcontractors to register and we obviously recommend that you accept this invitation and register as a user of BUILDSAFE® so that you have some protection if the builder does not pay.
THE PROCESS FOR SUBCONTRACTORSOnce a Subcontractor or Specialist Trade Contractor has been invited to use the BUILDSAFE® Security of Payment Scheme or registered their interest and has completed the Application Form, BUILDSAFE® will issue a conditional Notice of Acceptance confirming the Registration of the Subcontractor subject to receipt of payment of the relevant fee.
BUILDSAFE® will then confirm registration of the Subcontractor and will advise the Owner and the Contractor immediately upon a Subcontractor’s participation in the Scheme becoming effective. |
