ABIC CP-2014 C WA - Commercial Cost Plus Residential Special Conditions
Adapt the ABIC CP-2014 C Commercial Cost Plus contract for compliant WA residential building work.
In Western Australia the ABIC CP-2014 C Commercial Cost Plus Contract, unamended, does not include the acknowledgment required by section 14 of the Home Building Contracts Act 1991 (WA) for a cost-plus home building contract, nor does it expressly address the home indemnity insurance requirements in Part 3A of that Act. These Special Conditions modify the contract to the minimum extent necessary to address those requirements.
The result adapts a well-known commercial cost-plus contract for use on WA residential projects to which Part 3A applies, offering a practical and balanced alternative to the standard cost-plus forms common in the residential sector - without disturbing the underlying commercial structure the parties have chosen.
