Like other major construction projects, school building projects involve a complex arrangement of contractual relationships between the client, the main contractor and various sub-contractors and suppliers. In general, all sub-contractors and suppliers engaged on education sector building projects are employed directly by the main contractor, or indirectly by the main contractor through other sub-contractors.

My Department is not party to these contractual arrangements and does not have any role or authority in relation to payment or other contractual issues arising in the circumstances set out by the Deputy in the details supplied.
