STREAMLINED PROJECT PAYMENT FLOW

When it comes to construction projects, there are many moving parts. From materials and labour to permits and financing, many different factors can impact the successful outcome of a project.

One area that can often cause problems is project payments. Construction projects typically involve large sums of money; ensuring funds are going to the right place, that projects are completed as contracted, and keeping all stakeholders in the loop can be a challenge.

Making trust a central component of construction projects, IPEX ensures project funds are held securely, distributed correctly, and used only for their intended purpose.

IPEX is the construction industry’s leading Project Bank Account, and we are dedicated to making the construction payment process run securely, transparently and efficiently.

MEET PROJECT BANK ACCOUNT LEGISLATION REQUIREMENTS

The construction industry has the highest percentage of insolvency across all industries in Australia. To reduce the insolvency risk and improve cash flow in the construction industry, Project Trust Account & Security of Payments legislation is now in place across QLD and NSW (Limited). The IPEX platform is designed to improve the payment process across the building and construction industry by providing effective, efficient and fair processes for securing and distributing payment.

If you are working on a construction project in any of the states or territories where either Project Trust Accounts or Security of Payments legislation is in place, you will need to comply with the requirements of the legislation.

IPEX assists builders in Queensland in meeting the requirements of the BIF Act, which requires head contractors and builders to provide a Project Trust Account to secure funds and provide time-based reporting and notifications to all project stakeholders.

For builders in NSW, legislated by the Security of Payments Act, the IPEX platform provides a Project Retention Account to meet industry regulations.

Offering a fast and intuitive platform for managing project accounts, IPEX streamlines the payment process, increases transparency, and ensures time-based reporting and notifications are delivered to all stakeholders on time, every time.
