Build Cert provides all the building certificates you need when renovating or building a new home.

We help keep the cost down by providing these certificates under one roof

• Building Control
• Professional Consultants certificate
• EPC & SAP

Yes we use independent chartered surveyors to technically monitor the building works in order to issue the relevant certificate. On a normal build we will carry 4-5 site inspections to ensure that current standards of building regulations are complied with.

A structural warranty is insurance for the structure of your new home, normally for a period of 10 years after completion.

A building warranty covers:

• Structural Defects (including foundations, columns & beams, external walls & cladding, external doors & windows, stairs & floors, roof structures)
• Ingress of Water
• Drainage System
• Subsidence, Heave and Landslip
• Threat of imminent collapse requiring remedial works to prevent damage caused by a defect in design, workmanship or materials but not discovered before inception of cover
• Consequential Loss for Non-Structural Elements
• Loss of Deposit / Insolvency
• Removal of Debris & Professional Fees
• Alternative Accommodation
• Loss of Rent Receivable
• Contaminated Land Remediation Expenses
• Physical Health & Safety of Occupants (non compliance with Building Regulations)

There are many advantages but the main ones are:

• It is cost effective (usually much cheaper than a warranty)
• No time wasting, we can start straight away rather than you have to wait weeks to get a surveyor on site we will be there in 48 hours
• No bond or financial security deposit
• No membership fees
• One surveyor for all your needs
