An obligation to monitor and administer construction works, coupled with a contractual right to instruct builders and contractors, constitutes 'building advisory services in relation to construction work' under s 6(b)(iii) of the Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act 1999 (NSW), even where the contract is characterised as a project management agreement. A bonus payment calculated as a percentage of savings below a baseline target budget is calculated by reference to the value of services supplied and is not excluded from the Act by s 7(2)(c). Notification of an adjudication application under s 17(2)(a) is effective when received by a person with authority to deal with the matter on behalf of the company, and need not be received by the 'directing mind and will' of the company.
