BUILTIN is New Zealand’s Building Trade and Tradesman Guarantee and Insurance portal.

We provide cover for the complete NZ building and construction sector - from the largest building construction firm to the smaller tradesman sub-contractor, and to Homeowners.

We know the building business.

Public Liability

Public Liability policies provide protection against claims for compensation in respect of unexpected and unintended personal injury or property damage for which you may be legally liable arising out of your business activities.

In addition, the policy provides for the costs of defending these claims in court, as well as any necessary investigations or negotiations.

Errors and Omissions (E&O) Indemnity

Errors and Omissions (E&O) Indemnity Insurance has been specially designed for builders and project managers, and covers you for the expense of legal judgements, settlements and court costs.

It protects builders and project managers from big legal bills.

Subbie Cover Payment Guarantee

Can you afford to work for weeks and not get paid for it?

In 2009 2,800 construction companies in New Zealand ceased trading.  This was a decline of 5.3% and was the largest drop across all industries in that year.

We’ve all heard the stories of subbies who have been burned when their main contractor has gone bust.

The BuiltinNZ Payment Guarantee, known as Subbiecover, will pay 75% of the money owed to you, up to a maximum of $50,000.
