The National Guild of Master Craftsmen is delighted to announce the launch of our new

Insurance Backed Warranty – Buildsafe.

Buildsafe is a specifically designed insurance product that provides the public with

comprehensive protection in the event that your National Guild contractor ceases to trade or

fails to start or complete the works within the defined period.

In such cases we will a rrange for an alternative builder to complete the insured works for the

contract price, less the amount of any deposit or stage payment made to the original

contractor. Alternatively, we will refund to you the amount of any deposit or stage payments

made to the contractor.

Where the Contractor has ceased to trade and fails to rectify defects and major damage in

the Insured Works caused by faulty design, materials or workmanship carried out by, or the

responsibility of the Contractor, the Insurer at its option will either:

Arrange for another Builder to remedy defects or pay the Insured the reasonable cost of

rectifying the matter.

Where the Contractor has ceased to trade the Insurer will pay the costs of removing or

containing contaminants in the ground that we re known to be harmful and known to exist on

the site of the insured works at the time notice to build was deposited with the Local

Authority provided the removal or containment was part of the original site preparation

scheme and a clean up notice has been served by the Local Authority .

If the property is not fit for human habitation due to remedial works be ing undertaken

following a valid claim in respect of Major Damage, the insurer will pay the reasonable costs

of alternative accommodation.

The format could not be easier for the member to implement. You simply download the

following from our Web site www.nationalguild.ie our Standard Contract and the Proposal for

Warranty Insurance Cover. (Alternatively we can post same to you). Then complete both in

full with your Client forw ard them to us with the requisite cheque made payable to Prestige

Underwriting Services. (The rate chart for same is also on our web sit e). Prestige

Underwriting Services will then forward all relevant certificates and policies to your Client.

On completion of your work you must then complete a Completion Document (again this can

be downloaded/posted out). You forward same to us.

For your and your Clients benefit you can also view/download the Policy Document wording

and a Statement of the Demands and Needs on our Website.

Buildsafe is therefore a very exciting development that is exclusive to the members of the National Guild of Master Craftsmen. It will afford the public peace of mind when paying deposits and stage payments and will assist members with their budgets and cash flow. Because of this added security members of the public will be more inclined to do business with members of the National Guild of Master Craftsmen.
