Site Insurance and Structural Warranty

Regardless of how well you plan your project, accidents can and do happen. Flood, vandalism, theft and contractor injury can happen on any building site and you need to insure you and your project against such unforeseen events.

BuildStore understands the insurance requirements of self builders and has developed site and renovation insurance to provide the protection you need to safeguard your dream home.

It is essential that your investment in time and money is protected against major problems both during and after your self build or renovation project. Site insurance provides you with the protection and financial recompense so, if the worst does happen, you have peace of mind that your project will continue as planned.

Additionally, protecting your home once built is crucial and you should consider a 10 year structural warranty. This will provide cover if a serious structural defect occurs during the first 10 years - BuildCare Structural Warranty is ideal for this.
