Once an insurance premium has been paid by the contractor you will receive a Certificate of Insurance from BSA. This certificate along with the Policy Booklet should be retained for your records and stored in a safe place until the date of expiry.
The coverage period (6 years 6 months) commences from the date of payment of the premium or the date of signing the contract (whichever is earlier).
The certificate contains details relevant to your contract provided by the contractor:
Date of issue
Risk commencement date
Date of expiry
Site address
Contractor's name and address
The residential construction work insured
Notified contract value
Limit of liability
You should check that all the information detailed on the certificate is correct:
Site details (address, lot and plan number)
Postal address
Your name
If there are errors you should contact BSA on 1300 272 272 for amendment. A new certificate is issued where information has been amended.
Should you receive an updated certificate at another time it may be because your contractor or the certifier has requested amendments.
