HIA Tradepass shows you’re verified and ready for your next job

How much time do you spend collating and managing your legal and business documentation every time you start a new job with a builder? Register with HIA Tradepass and we’ll help you take care of it.

How can HIA Tradepass help trade contractors?

HIA Tradepass is a simple, easy-to-use online system that can help you manage your business information and documentation and share it with the builders you work with. 

Once you have set up your HIA Tradepass contractor profile, any principal contractor (builder) using HIA Tradepass can easily see your details on the platform. The benefits of holding an active HIA Tradepass contractor profile include:

  • Having your business document verified by our industry experts
  • Having access to your information 24/7 on multiple devices
  • Receiving notifications when your documents are due to expire so you can upload new documents
  • Being visible to other builders using HIA Tradepass on the HIA Tradepass contractor network so you can grow your network 
  • Inviting new builders to link with your HIA Tradepass contractor profile
  • Connecting with an unlimited number of HIA Tradepass builders for one annual fee.

Take the stress and hassle out of managing your business documents today. Less time on paperwork, more time on the job.

How does HIA Tradepass work?

HIA Tradepass can help you manage your business compliance documents in the one place. All you need to do is:

  1. Login to the HIA website and subscribe to HIA Tradepass for Contractors OR use a link provided by a HIA Tradepass builder to set up your trade contractor profile (Note - if you are not a HIA member, you will need to create a guest account).
  2. Create your business profile and complete the pre-qualification questionnaire.
  3. Upload the necessary documentation to support your answers.
  4. Wait for notification that you have been verified.
  5. Start sharing your details with principal contractors.

The HIA Tradepass team will review your business profile and business documents to verify your profile. Once you are verified as a HIA Tradepass Contractor, you and the principal contractor (if you have accepted their connection request) will be notified. You will receive renewal reminders for any documents with expiry dates throughout the year to help make sure your business compliance stays up to date.

Once your Trade Contractor profile is set up, you can also invite other principal contractors using HIA Tradepass to view your profile.
