Risk Assessments and Surveys
Where the NHBRC cannot confirm that you have complied with technical standards and/or that you have deviated from the prescribes standards, they have a risk to enrol the home.
In the instance that a Developer, Home Builder, Building Contractor, Project Management Co-Ordinator or Home Owner is confronted with NHBRC identified Late Enrolments and/or Non-Compliances, the NHBRC will proceed to attach a monetary value to their anticipated risk.
Once the monetary value has been established by the NHBRC you are obliged to render a financial guarantee before you can proceed with construction.
This guarantee may be provided by a list of pre-approved Insurers or Financial Institutions.
An Insurer will only issue such a guarantee once a proper risk assessment has been completed. The Facilitators have partnered with Freshfields Insurance Brokers (FSP 3503) and have been appointed by them to execute their risk assessments and surveys.
Our close relationship to Residential Construction since 1985 (35 years), including being closely involved with the NHBRC processes and procedures since 1995, fully qualifies us to assess possible defects which can manifest into possible high-risk structures.
Risk Identification, Qualification and Management Methodology are derived by utilising industry recognised best practices and codes. Our risk assessment and surveys are based on the relevant NHBRC Building Manual (2015) and SABS/SANS 10400 (2015) Manual for Residential structures
The purpose of all Risk Assessments and Surveys is to provide expert risk management advice to the NHBRC, our Insurance Partners, Facilities Management and Construction Parties. Such Risk Assessments and Surveys are to help our partners to take control of their underwriting risks. It will further assist our Partners to manage and meet their Property Management risk objectives.
Risk Assessments have never been more crucial in running a business. Insurance Companies are becoming more technical and responsible with their underwriting by spending more time in analysing the risk involved in the construction industry.
