Non-completion of building work or incomplete building work refers to situations where a contractor has failed to complete all work under a contract for residential construction work.



In such scenarios, the homeowners can lodge a claim for non-completion when a contractor does not finish the work they were contracted to carry out:


  • The contractors go bankrupt (individual) or are placed into liquidation (company)

  • The contractors have their licence suspended or cancelled

  • The contractors have disappeared


There are also situations where the building work still needs to be completed due to a dispute between parties. So, it is necessary to resolve the dispute associated with the project in order to move forward. Here are some reasons a dispute can occur-

  • Defective work

  • Contracts and payments


Home Warranty Insurance

Home warranty insurance is a type of insurance that can help homeowners pay for the loss they suffer as a result of their contractors' inability to complete a building project. It is important for any incomplete or defective work, as homeowners can use the insurance to pay the total cost for incomplete work or repair jobs.


If your claim is successful, the insurance will pay for the loss you suffer as a result of the contractor's failure to complete the work, which may include things like:


  • getting the deposit back if work has not started

  • getting another builder to finish the work

  • repairing damage or defects that have occurred because the work was not finished.
