Are you building a commercial development?
Our Commercial Warranty is designed to protect owners or developers of commercial sites from potentially costly defects. The use of a warranty replaces the uncertainty of collateral warranties with the security of a first party insurance policy. Take a look below to learn more about what our Commercial Warranty includes and how we can help with your next project or get a quote by filling in our online application form.
On mixed use sites the Commercial Warranty can be used in conjunction with our New Home, Private Rental or Social Housing warranties to provide comprehensive protection for the entire development.
If your project contains a building of six storeys or more you will also benefit from our Major Projects Service. To see if your building/s would qualify as a major project check out our tall buildings graphic.

Mechanical and Electrical Inherent Defects (For 5 years from completion)
