More than the build.

Peace of mind for the next decade, with cover that starts when your build is complete.

That’s the Halo 10-Year Residential Guarantee.

Peace of mind with the Halo 10-Year Residential Guarantee

A Halo 10-Year Residential Guarantee gives you peace of mind, covering you long after the build is complete.

It’s tailor-made to provide  security for homeowners and offers greater protection than the Building Act and Consumer Guarantees Act, ensuring you’re covered well beyond the construction phase.

Only an NZCB builder can offer the Halo 10-Year Residential Guarantee – ensuring your home is built with confidence.

Halo cover at a glance

This is a summary of key Halo benefits. For full details see the Halo Homeowner Handbook.

Workmanship & Materials

Halo covers defects in workmanship and materials that don’t meet the New Zealand Building Code or accepted standards in the first 2 years.

If something goes wrong and your builder can’t or won’t fix it, Halo can step in to get it sorted – giving you peace of mind from day one.

Structural Defects

You’re covered for serious structural issues like problems with foundations, framing, load-bearing walls, floors, and roof systems or up to 10 years.

Even some weathertightness issues are included if they cause damage to your home – because the big things should never become big problems.

Claim-related Costs

If you need to move out during repair work due to a covered claim, Halo can help cover the cost of temporary accommodation, moving and storing furniture, and even professional fees for engineers or surveyors up to $30,000.

Fully Transferable

Selling your home? The Halo Guarantee goes with it.

It’s fully transferable to future owners, offering the same protection for up to 10 years from completion, adding value and confidence for any buyer.

How much does Halo cost?

Halo offers peace of mind for generally less than 0.42% of your total build or renovation cost. The Guarantee is priced using a tiered structure, so you only pay for the level of cover that matches your project. 

Whether you’re building a first home or a high-end renovation, you get the right protection at the right price.
