What Does an ABC+ Structural Warranty Cover?

An ABC+ Structural Warranty may cover the cost of repairing or rebuilding parts of a property where a qualifying structural defect has occurred as a result of issues such as defective design, workmanship or materials.

Depending on the policy and project type, cover may include:

  • The cost of full or partial rebuilding following a qualifying structural defect
  • Repair costs for damage caused by certain structural issues
  • Water damage caused by defective design, workmanship or materials
  • Drainage-related structural issues
  • Deposit protection in the event of developer insolvency, where applicable
  • Contaminated land cover, where applicable
  • Alternative accommodation costs, where applicable
  • Debris removal costs, where applicable

The exact level of cover will depend on the policy terms, property type and warranty option selected.

What Is Not Usually Covered by a Structural Warranty?

Like all insurance products, structural warranties include exclusions. These can vary depending on the policy, but they commonly include:

  • Unapproved alterations or extensions
  • General wear and tear
  • Fixtures, fittings and cosmetic defects
  • Accidental damage
  • Damage caused by severe weather events
  • Vandalism, arson or deliberate damage
  • Poor maintenance after completion

Before proceeding, you should always review the policy wording carefully so you understand exactly what is and is not covered.

Build-Zone Warranty Alternative Options

If you are comparing alternatives to a Build-Zone Structural Warranty, there are usually two main routes to consider.

Option 1: Professional Consultants Certificate

A Professional Consultants Certificate, also known as a PCC, CML Certificate or Architects Certificate, provides 6 Year certification and is accepted by many banks and building societies.

This can be a cost-effective option for certain projects where a full structural warranty is not required immediately.

Option 2: ABC+ 10 or 12 Year Structural Warranty

A 10 or 12 Year Structural Warranty provides longer-term cover and is often preferred by lenders, buyers, solicitors and developers.

ABC+ offers both 10 and 12 Year Structural Warranty options, giving you flexibility depending on your project requirements.

Start with a PCC and Upgrade Later

One of the key benefits of ABC+ is flexibility.

If preferred, you may be able to begin with a 6 Year Professional Consultants Certificate and upgrade to an ABC+ 10 Year Structural Warranty later if a lender, buyer or solicitor requires it.

This approach can help reduce upfront costs while still giving you a route to longer-term structural warranty cover when needed.

Appoint ABC+ Before Building Work Starts

An ABC+ Structural Warranty can be arranged at different stages of a building project. However, appointing ABC+ before construction begins is usually the most cost-effective option.

Early appointment allows inspections, technical reviews and reporting to be planned properly from the outset. This can help avoid retrospective issues, reduce additional costs and make the warranty process smoother.

If your building work has already started or your project is close to completion, ABC+ can still review your circumstances and advise on the available options.

Full Access to Survey and Inspection Reports

When you take out your warranty with ABC+, you will receive access to the relevant survey and inspection reports carried out on your property.

This provides transparency throughout the process and can help support conversations with buyers, solicitors, mortgage lenders and other professionals involved in your project.

ABC+ offers a practical and cost-effective alternative for clients who want reliable structural warranty protection without excessive fees or complicated broker processes.

With ABC+, you benefit from:

  • Competitive 10 and 12 Year Structural Warranty options
