Protection Designed for New Home Buyers

The Homeowner Protection Act and Regulations improve the quality of residential construction and strengthen consumer protection for buyers of new homes.

The Act provides for the licensing of residential builders, and makes third-party home warranty insurance mandatory on new home construction. Under the provisions of the Act, the Licensing and Consumer Services Branch of BC Housing is responsible for:

• Licensing residential builders and building envelope renovators
• Monitoring the provision of mandatory third-party home warranty insurance
• Administering Owner Builder Authorizations
• Carrying out research and education that benefits the residential construction industry and consumers

2-5-10 Coverage

The Homeowner Protection Act and Regulations set out the minimum standards of home warranty insurance coverage. All licensed builders are required to have 3rd party warranty providers to insure each new home. This is administered by the Licensing branch of BC Housing.

All new homes built by licensed residential builders must have 2-5-10 home warranty insurance, the strongest construction defect insurance in Canada. Straight Up Construction partners with Pacific Home Warranty to provide our 2-5-10 year coverage. That coverage includes:

• 2 years on labour and material (some limits apply)
• 5 years on the building envelope, including water penetration
• 10 years on the structure of the home

More details can be found in the BC Housing Regulatory Bulletin and in their publications page. Please note these summaries are for convenience only and do not replace or supersede the Act and regulations
