Elements of communal developments can sometimes carry additional risks to developers and these may not currently be covered under your Buildmark warranty and insurance product.
To help bridge this gap, NHBC, in conjunction with HSB Engineering Insurance a market leading underwriter of engineering risks, are able to introduce to you Machinery Inherent Defects Insurance. There are two versions of this product, one covering apartment developments and one covering district heating services. Both products are underwritten by HSB Engineering Insurance but complement our Buildmark product providing you with the means to manage these additional risks.
* Exclusions and conditions may apply. Please refer to your policy wording for further information.
** Technical audits are provided and charged for separately to the insurance by HSB Engineering Insurance Services Limited.
