Owner Builders Construction and Public Liability Insurance >>>

Developers & Body Corporate Latent Defects Insurance

Policy Covers

Also called structural defects, to protect owner builders, home owners residential and commercial builders, developers and Body Corporates in the event that an unforeseen structural defect occurs after practical completion of the building.

It is the nature of construction projects that faults and defects caused by failures in design, workmanship or materials, may not become apparent or detectable (even with the exercise of reasonable care) until many years after completion of the project, long after the end of the defects liability period. Latent Defects can be extremely expensive and disruptive to rectify.

Latent Defects Insurance indemnifies the insured for the cost up to the total sum insured of the repairs to the damage caused by the defect and is available for 10 years from the date of practical completion.

“It is important for me as a developer to have the right guarantee that not only gives my funders peace of mind but gives myself and any potential future owners of the property that vital reassurance.” – Antonio C
