Guarantees

Why choose guarantees

In today’s economy, there is a growing demand for contractors and developers to offer guarantees to employers for construction projects. This requirement arises from the need for all parties to minimize their risk exposures before embarking on significant projects.
 
Bank guarantees have been favored as the ideal form of security by institutions. Even though banks cater for the need of issuing guarantees it is not their primary focus and therefore it does not always accommodate the need of the client. The collateral requirements can be strict which can have a negative impact on the companies finances and cashflow for future projects.
 
Guarantees from an insurance institution offers more benefits as it is more cost-effective and efficient. This allows clients the opportunity to issue guarantees to entities to ensure their performance and contractual obligations towards a project. 
 
We believe that insurance should not be seen as one-size fits all products and therefore we have partnered with innovative insurance providers that offer tailored solutions for each clients specific needs. 

Types of guarantees

Performance Guarantee

The employer/developer might require the contractor to issue a performance guarantee at the inception of the construction project. This will protect the employer against the contractor’s failure to perform and guarantees the successful completion of the project.

NHBRC Late Enrolment Guarantee

In the case of a late enrolment the NHBRC might require the builder or developer to provide a guarantee for the warranty of the structure because they can not verify whether the builder has complied with their building regulations. This guarantee protects the home owner and NHBRC against structural defects that might arise.

Advanced Payment Guarantees

An employer/developer might need to provide a contractor with funds upfront for the successful completion of the project. These guarantees cover the employer and sub-contractors against the contractor’s bankruptcy.

Retention Guarantees

Contractors might need to provide retention guarantees towards the end of the contract to protect the employer against structural defects discovered after the completion of the project and during the maintenance period.
