Pausing or Holding insurance

Kenny Rogers might've said that you've gotta know when to hold 'em, and know when to fold 'em, but insurance doesn't work like Poker.
Occasionally people ask us if they can "pause" owner builder insurance during a build (maybe for a holiday, maybe while refinancing).
If you think about what the insurance is for, you'll realise that the question doesn't make a lot of sense.

Make sure you Hold 'em ...

Simply put, owner builder insurance covers damage to your project, or damage/injury to others during the build.
Even if you're not actually on the project site, those risks are still in force. Criminals aren't likely to break into your project to steal or vandalise while you're actually there; that sort of thing is most likely to happen when you've left.
That's why it's important to have 24/7 active insurance like our Owner Builder Insurance package, and to keep making regular progress on the build.

... not Fold 'em

If you cancel your owner builder insurance during the build, what happens when something goes wrong? Just as you'd expect, you'd not be insured, and any damage or liability will be coming out of your pocket, not from your former insurer.

Owner builder insurance is pretty inexpensive for what it covers; and the potential financial consequences of not having insurance could be pretty dire.

Choose Your Builder Carefully

Adam Weaver  adam@allrisk.com.au 25-03-2018 Talk to your builder It sounds obvious, but not all builders are the same; most are highly skilled, experienced, and competent, and some are ... not . Sadly, in insurance, we hear horror stories more often than not; usually when it's too late to do anything about the choice of builder. Ask questions Are you a licensed builder? Quite a few "builders" are actually carpenters and other trades, and whilst they may have loads of experience in the particular trade, are  less  experienced in budgeting and time management skills. For how long have you had your license ?  Do you have any completed projects we can view? Any client references? Don't be embarrassed to ask, you'd think that a good builder would be proud of his past work and his past clients would give him a good review. What other work do you have on the go? Realistically, most builders will be working on more than one job at any ...

How Much Does Owner Builder Insurance Cost Victoria

In most owner builder insurance, the exact area to be covered or secured depends on what kind of package or product you take out. It is necessary to specify them with proper assistance from the company’s expert. It is also important to choose the right company for your property protection. The first thing you must do is learn about their terms and policies through checking their websites or calling them through the phone. In some places of Australia, companies provide service but with hidden charges. This is not the case all the time but it happens even here in Victoria. This is a very deceiving trick.  And for most of us who has goals, this is very obstructive too. You should be aware because it will extract a lot of money out of your pocket, leaving you with more financial troubles in the end. Australians should stop supporting this type of company. It is very important to spread awareness so that these companies will stop this kind of deception to their customers. If ...

Owner Builder Insurance Cost

In some parts of Australia, you can never totally rely on a certain insurance company. In choosing the right one, you would really need to dig deep for its background first before you should decide to work with it. This is tough for  owner builders   because it could consume a lot of time and they have no other option but to do this. In many cases, companies hire incompetent tradespeople who fail to deliver a decent service. Some of them cannot even secure insurance because of lack of legitimacy. That is why sometimes,  the license  becomes meaningless. It cannot assure credibility anymore. It is unfortunate but many Australians have ignored this fact. This has been happening in the insurance industry for how many decades. Until now, you can still find corrupt companies trying to take advantage of other people’s weakness and vulnerability. It is now time we should address this issue for the sake of other future clients. In Australia, thousands of builder...
