“New home warranties or structural warranties are insurance policies designed to protect against structural defects caused by design, workmanship and materials.”
Build-Zone warranties cover major structural defects for a specified period, typically ten years after completion. They are essential for safeguarding homeowners against significant repair costs due to structural defects caused by poor workmanship, design errors, or materials defects.

What is the significance of using an ‘A’ Rated structural warranty provider?
An ‘A’ rated insurer has been independently assessed by a recognised agency on its long-term financial strength and ability to pay valid claims and has scored highly. An ‘A’ Rating is among the highest scores, whereas a B or C rating is considered a less secure insurer.
As structural warranties last for up to 12 years, choosing an insurer who is financially secure for the long term is vital. This reduces the risk of the insurer going out of business during the insurance period, which not only invalidates the warranty but could invalidate the mortgage too. That’s why we only use ‘A’ Rated insurers for all our structural warranties – so you can have complete confidence in your cover.
