The Construction Act

Taking the Con out of Construction

In this episode of Taking the Con Out of Construction, Michelle Carr dives into one of the most important pieces of legislation shaping the industry, the Construction Act of 1996. She unpacks what it really means for contractors and subcontractors, from fair payment to faster dispute resolution.

Michelle breaks down how tools like the Joint Contracts Tribunal (JCT) and Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) came about to protect smaller firms, keeping projects moving and helping you avoid lengthy, expensive battles.

Along the way, she shares insights on tendering, contract admin, and why having the right contract in place is your best line of defence. It’s a practical, straight-talking guide to understanding your rights, and using the Construction Act to make sure you get paid what you’re owed.
