The Build-Zone Basic Warranty covers new builds, conversions, renovations and extensions and protects the policyholder against claims for loss or damage caused by major structural damage, defective weather-proofing and defective drains.

Features of our Basic Warranty:

  • We can consider covering part-completed or completed projects

  • No Membership or Registration Fees

  • Fast quotation turnaround

  • Flexible payment method

  • Cover for 10 years from Completion

  • No Defects Period, full risk transfer for the duration of the policy

  • Cover for Alternative Accommodation, Additional Costs, Removal of Debris and Professional Fees included as standard.

  • Cover available for mixed-use developments.

  • No project is too large or too small.

The Warranty is underwritten by an ‘A’ rated global Insurer and each case is subject to full technical review by Build-Zone Survey Services Limited with the aim of minimising any defects right from the design stage.

Technical Services

Technical Services are handled by our in-house team Build-Zone Survey Services Limited (BZSS). They can facilitate Building Control for you with one of their Partnered Approved Inspectors. Every inspection is audited by BZSS to give you further peace of mind.

Where Building Control has already been arranged elsewhere, technical audits are undertaken by one of BZSS’s Partnered Approved Inspectors to ensure the project reaches the standard required for the issue of the warranty. Both Insurers and Build-Zone understand the value of this service and this is reflected in the premiums that are charged. The sooner that BZSS are involved then the greater the benefit that can be realised.

The Build-Zone Basic Warranty covers New Builds, Conversions, Renovations and Extensions and protects the policyholder against claims for loss or damage caused by Major Structural Damage, Defective Weatherproofing and defective drains.
