What insurances do you require when building?
Insurance is such an important part of any building process. It covers you should things go wrong, ensures the health and safety of the people on your site and will provide peace of mind.
Therefore, when choosing your builder, regardless of whether it is a small renovation or custom built home, it is important to check what types of insurances they hold and what will be covered in the case of theft, damage or delay. Professional builders should have public liability and construction works; workers compensation and QBCC (Home Owners Warranty Insurance) insurances. It’s important to make sure that the builder you go with has evidence of all of these.
