It’s been just over a week since news broke of the state government's agreement with Nicheliving. While the decision provides some relief to consumers, HIA is disappointed in the outcome given the requirements and rigour that is placed around the home indemnity scheme.
See HIA’s media release on the Nicheliving situation.
Any reviews are not likely to commence before the next election in March, but HIA will be advocating that a review of the Home Building Contracts Act and the Home Indemnity scheme is needed in the next term of Government to ensure they remain relevant for the current building environment.
HIA have been receiving calls from consumers looking for builders that may be able to assist them in the construction of a new home. As a result, HIA is compiling a list of builders that can be supplied to consumers for the purposes of completing their new home.
If you are interested in your building company being added to the available builder list, please email wa_enquiry@hia.com.au.
This list will only be available to consumers upon request.
For any builders who are taking on another builder's job we encourage you to review HIA’s resource library article to ensure your insurance and processes are in place.
