HIA Tasmanian Residential Building

These Special Conditions have been prepared for use by the builder and the owner, as an alternative form of contract, for situations where:

• the bank or financier imposes on the parties a Housing Industry Association HIA Tasmanian Residential Building Contract (January 2017 version) as a condition of approving finance, but
• where the parties had already agreed to include the role and functions of the Architect administering a contract under the ABIC Simple Works 2018 H Tasmania contract.

The Special Conditions include the role and functions of the Architect under the ABIC SW 2018 H TAS contract and introduce a number of the familiar definitions and mechanisms from the ABIC SW 2018 H TAS contract into the HIA Tasmanian Residential Building contract (as applicable to alterations, additions and renovations).
