Are builders insured?

Brian Berry (External Affairs Director, FMB) gives expert video advice on: Where should I start when looking for a builder?; Where should I not look for a builder?; How can I check if a builder is qualified? and more...

You should check that your builder has public insurance liability, so that if there's any accidental damage to a third party, that you're covered. The Federation of Master Builders also offers a master bond warranty, which gives you ten years protection for any building work, and you pay one and a half percent for the costs of that.
