Once QBE Building Indemnity eligibility is in place, a separate application is required for each project requiring a Building Indemnity certificate.

Step 1: Complete the appropriate application #

Depending on the project, this will generally involve:

• QBE Job Specific Application
• QBE Multi-Unit Application

The correct application depends on the project structure.

Step 2: Provide the signed building contract #

A signed and executed contract should be supplied with the application.

The information should match the builder’s QBE eligibility details, including:

• Builder legal entity
• ABN or ACN where applicable
• Builder licence number
• Owner names
• Project address
• Contract value
• Contract date

Differences between the contract, application and eligibility details can delay processing.

Step 3: Submit the application to Webber Insurance #

Webber Insurance processes the application through QBE.

This is a set Building Indemnity process rather than a traditional broking exercise where multiple insurers are approached for competing quotations.

QBE determines:

• Acceptance
• Premium
• Conditions
• Certificate issuance

When is Building Indemnity Insurance required? #

In South Australia, it is generally required for domestic building work that:

• Requires development approval, and
• Is valued at $20,000 or more

where the statutory requirements apply.

The certificate must be obtained where required before building work commences.
