You wouldn't buy a home appliance without a Guarantee, so why build your new home without one?

Today, people building new homes need to know they are building with people they can trust.  Your Builders reputation and workmanship may speak for themselves.  That's why you're building with them, right?

Builders approved by Builtin New Zealand Ltd can apply for a written guarantee when undertaking to build a new home, or for alterations and additions to an existing home.

There are two options, depending upon the type of building contract that is being envisaged by you, and if you are just buying a kitset, our Kitset Loss of Deposit / Advance Pre-Payment Guarantee.
