Ten-Year Structural Guarantee
RIL covers complete coverage for structural elements.
A home is more than just a place to live — it’s one of the most significant investments you’ll make in your lifetime. Our Ten-Year Structural Guarantee protects that investment, providing coverage for any structural defects that may occur.
This guarantee ensures that the framework of your home—its foundation, load-bearing walls, and overall structure—is fully protected. Should any structural issues arise, our guarantee offers 100% coverage, ensuring repairs are completed promptly and professionally. This commitment to quality means your home is built to last, providing safety, security, and peace of mind for you and your family for the next decade and beyond.
How does it compare?
-
Other building guarantees will often only provide cover up to a set dollar limit. This means that the difference in the dollar limit and the actual costs to repair the home will then need to be paid by the homeowner.
-
Often the cover will only apply if a CCC (Code Compliance Certificate) has been issued. Also, in some cases the cover provided by other building guarantees does not automatically apply to all homes - it will only apply if the materials used and the design of the home are deemed to be of an acceptable standard by the guarantee provider.
