Betterbuilt will then lodge the guarantee at the time you complete the building contract and before the construction starts. You will then receive an acceptance letter. There are also different types of guarantees available and maybe requested depending on what your project involves, these include the following.

Full Contract – Where your builder is managing the whole project for you.
Carpentry Labour Only – Where the homeowner decides to act as project manager. This guarantee will only cover the builders work.
Alterations and Additions – Where work is being done on an existing building.
