Building Insurance

Protects the structure of your home and its permanent fixtures against fire, storm, water damage and other insured perils.

Contemporary home with large windows and a green lawn

Building insurance protects the physical structure of your home — walls, roof, geysers, fitted kitchens, boundary walls, pools and other permanent fixtures — against fire, storm, flood, burst pipes and related perils. If you have a bond, your bank requires it; if you do not, you need it just as much.

Getting the sum insured right

The single most common problem we find in building cover is underinsurance: a sum insured based on market value instead of replacement cost. We help you set the correct replacement value — including demolition, professional fees and escalation — so a total loss does not become a partial payout.
