Builder Recovery & HBCF Support

Complete the home and build the evidence record.

We inspect and complete homes left unfinished after a previous builder can no longer continue. At the same time, we prepare clear construction and cost records that can support an HBCF claim.

Construction completion and claim-support records developed together.

For more than two years, we have helped clients complete affected homes and prepare documentation for their insurer.

01

Complete unfinished homes

Inspect the current condition, define the remaining scope and sequence a safe, practical and certifiable completion.

02

Rectify builder defects

Identify and document defects in the original builder's work, then scope and complete agreed rectification.

03

Prepare HBCF records

Compile site evidence, measured scopes, quotations, invoices and supporting records for the homeowner's claim.

Preserve the evidence while completing the home.

The physical work and the documentation advance together, creating a record of what was found, why it was required and what was completed.

  1. 01

    Record

    Document progress, exposure, defects, incomplete work and items needing specialist review.

  2. 02

    Define

    Separate incomplete work, original-builder defects, consequential work and owner changes.

  3. 03

    Resolve

    Coordinate the scope with approvals, consultants, certification and available funding.

  4. 04

    Complete

    Finish the work while retaining location-based evidence, costs and close-out records.

Records that explain the work and support the claimed amount.

Documentation is organised around incomplete work, original-builder defects and associated expenses that may be considered under the policy.

Incomplete-work evidence

Contract, variations, payments, measured remaining scope, photographs and quotations used to substantiate the completion position.

Defect & cost records

Location-based schedules showing what was found, what was rectified and the related repair or completion costs.

Associated expenses

Records for eligible accommodation, removal, storage, technical reports and certain other costs where the policy may respond.

We document and build; we do not determine cover. icare HBCF or the relevant insurer decides which items are accepted and what amount is payable. Legal advice should come from a qualified solicitor.
