Members of the Certified Builders Association of New Zealand are obliged to apply to Builtin New Zealand Ltd for a ten-year written guarantee when undertaking to build a new home. They are not required to apply for the guarantee, but can offer to do so, for alterations and additions.
The guarantee gives the new homeowner additional reassurance and belief in the quality of the workmanship provided by their Certified Builder.
If a contract is not completed for some reason, Builtin New Zealand Ltd will encourage the builder to remedy the problem and, if necessary, appoint another Certified Builder to do so, and the written guarantee will cover or contribute significantly to the cost.
Where the Certified Builder is the head contractor, the guarantee covers materials and work completed by the Certified Builder and the sub-contractors engaged by him, subject to the limitations and exclusions in the guarantee agreement.
