Owner Builder / Home Warranty Inspection

Home warranty insurance provides a set period of cover for loss caused by defective or incomplete work in the event of the death, disappearance or insolvency of the contractor/builder/owner-builder.

A Home Warranty Inspection or Owner Builder Inspection is carried out as a final check of works completed by an owner builder as a requirement of home warranty insurance cover. The inspection is to ensure there are no incomplete works or major defects.

Home warranty insurance provides a set period of cover for loss caused by defective or incomplete work in the event of the death, disappearance or insolvency of the contractor/builder/owner-builder.

From 1 February 2012, home warranty insurance is required to be obtained where the contract price (or value of work) is over $20,000.

We carry out home warranty inspections / Owner Builder Inspections for bathroom renovations, kitchen renovations, additions, extensions, alterations, new homes, subdivisions, duplexes, dual occupancies, units and villa developments.

Once the inspection has been carried out, we compile a Home Warranty inspection report or Owner Builder Warranty Report for you to submit to your insurer.
