I’m a new Builder, can you help me apply for eligibility?

Yes. If you are newly licensed or starting your business, we can assist you with the Building Indemnity Insurance eligibility process.

We will guide you through the application requirements, which typically include:

  • Financial statements and business structure
  • A business plan or cash flow forecast
  • A summary of your building industry experience
  • Details of planned projects or contracts

Insurers are often cautious when assessing new builders, but we will work with you to ensure your application is clear, complete, and well-supported.
