10 Year Residential Guarantee; One of the most Comprehensive Independent Residential Guarantees in the businessYou wouldn’t buy a new car without a warranty, so why build your new home without one?
Today, people building new homes need to know they are building with people they can trust. Your builder’s reputation and workmanship may speak for themselves. That’s why you’re building with them, right? Building a new home is probably the biggest investment you’ll ever make, and if anything goes wrong it could be the most costly too. It makes sense to reduce your risk by having a guarantee in place, just in case something does go wrong. Members of the Certified Builders Association of New Zealand must make their customers aware that they can apply for a ten-year independently insured guarantee when building a new home. For alterations and additions the builder can also apply for a guarantee, at the customer’s request. What are the benefits of having 10 Year Residential Guarantee Insurance? Prior to completion of works: If due to death, disappearance, insolvency or fraud of the Builder or early termination of the building contract (due to the Builders wrongful failure or refusal to complete the works then: If the Builders does not start the works at all
After completion of the works: If due to the Builders failure to supply materials in good order and fit for purpose, carry out the works in a proper and competent manner in accordance with the council approved plans and specifications results in a defect then:
