Why is it so important for me to choose the right builder?

This is a critical decision for you. If your repairs aren’t up to standard EQC will not assist you with rectifying any issues. EQC publicity material on the on-sold support package states “If you have any issues with your building contractor or other parties you’ve engaged, you’ll need to raise your concerns with them directly.” This is because the contract for building repairs will be between you and your chosen building contractor - not EQC.

What does my builder need to do for me?

The service you will require from your building contractor goes far beyond supplying building services. As well as having a solid understanding of the on-sold process, Key areas for your builder are;

• Being able to identify the full extent of your EQ damage and any non-compliant repairs
• Work closely with structural and geotech engineers
• Accurately quantify the cost of your repair
• Provide all necessary reports from sub-contractors
• Provide a full rebuild service if required
• Manage the council consent process
• Seamless project management
• Accurate and fast re-levelling and repairs
• Quality, guaranteed building work
• Completion of your project within an agreed timeline

Fulfilling these requirements clearly requires a fully resourced building company.
