Building Licensing & Rules in Tasmania
Important regulations and resources to help you hire with confidence in Tasmania.
Building services licence
Individuals performing building or demolition work must hold a building services provider licence issued by Consumer, Building and Occupational Services. Licence categories include builder, architect, engineer, designer and surveyor. Applicants must meet qualifications, experience, financial capacity and insurance requirements and undertake continuing professional development.
Home warranty insurance
Residential building work valued over AUD 20 000 must be covered by home warranty insurance. The builder cannot enter a contract without proof of insurance or a clause stating it will be obtained before work starts. The policy protects owners if the builder dies, disappears or becomes insolvent and typically lasts six years.
Risk-based building approvals
Under the Building Act 2016, high-risk (permit) work requires a building permit issued by a permit authority and signed by a building surveyor before work can commence. Low-risk work may be exempt or notifiable. All work must comply with the National Construction Code.
Residential building contracts and deposits
For contracts valued at AUD 20 000 or more builders must provide a consumer guide and use a written contract. Deposits are limited to 10% for contracts between AUD 20 000 and AUD 50 000 and 5% above AUD 50 000. Progress payments must reflect work completed. Variations must be in writing and signed.
Statutory warranties and oversight
Work must be carried out with skill and care using suitable new materials and must comply with laws and codes. Statutory warranties last six years and transfer to subsequent owners. Builders should engage an independent building surveyor to oversee compliance with the National Construction Code and ensure subcontractors are appropriately licensed.
