There is currently a new reform proposed for the HBCF, previously known as the Homeowners Warranty.

A discussion has been held in terms of reforming and changing the HBCF, which all of us in the industry know that it is compulsory. For any kind of construction project that is over the amount of $20,000.00, it is compulsory to obtain the Home Building Compensation Fund (HBCF). This is not fair in terms of the homeowners, for whom the maximum amount that you can actually claim is only $360,000.00.

What if the builder who is managing your project goes broke, disappears out of nowhere, or worse, passes away? Give your professional experience; discuss what you believe the HBCF should be and what changes must be made to achieve this. This is still an ongoing debate about proposing some changes and capping off the maximum claim.
