What is home building compensation (HBC) and how do you ensure work is covered by this?

If the residential building project we partake in is over $20,000 our team will apply for insurance under this scheme mandated by NSW law. This is because we have eligibility for insurance granted under icare. As the principal contractors under ‘Trade’ work, we’ll provide the necessary proof of HBC prior to project commencement (Including payment.) The role of this insurance is to provide you with comprehensive protection. This is applicable in the event that our plumbers can’t necessitate the plumbing work outlined. With every project, our All Day Plumbing  team ensures correspondence with all regulations.
