Q.
What does QBCC Home Warranty Insurance cover?
A.
Most residential building work done in Queensland valued over $3,300 (including labour and materials) must have home warranty insurance. As part of the building process, the builder pays a premium to QBCC (Queensland Building & Construction Commission) on the owners behalf to insure the construction. The amount is calculated based on the contract value, and is paid before work begins. In Queensland, the insurance covers the owner against major defects to the work for a period of six years and six months.
Warranty insurance should not be confused with Contract Works and Public Liability Insurance, which is sometimes called Builders All Risk insurance. This insurance covers fire, damage, theft and injury during the construction period while the builder is in possession of the building site.
