NZBA 10-Year Building Guarantee

The NZBA 10-Year Building Guarantee provides long-term protection for residential and commercial construction projects across New Zealand. It ensures that building work meets the New Zealand Building Code and recognised industry standards.

Through a structured verification process, we protect homeowners against structural defects and workmanship issues, offering confidence, compliance, and peace of mind for up to ten years.

Comprehensive Coverage
Across Every Risk

Structural Integrity

10-year protection against structural defects that could compromise the safety and stability of the building's core framework.

Waterproofing

Full coverage for the external envelope, roof, cladding, and flashings, protecting against moisture ingress and water damage.

Workmanship

12-month guarantee on all materials and workmanship, ensuring the build quality meets agreed and industry-standard specifications.

Fire Protection

Structural fire-resistance systems and passive fire protection measures are covered throughout the full guarantee period.

Rot & Fungal Decay

Where compliant materials are used, coverage extends to rot and fungal decay affecting structural and non-structural elements.

Temporary Accommodation

If approved repairs render a home uninhabitable, costs for temporary accommodation are covered for the duration of the work.
