If your Christchurch home hasn't been rebuilt since the earthquakes, you may be entitled to make a claim.

The best part? EQC will reimburse you for our fees. With a 100% success rate, we’ve assisted numerous Christchurch residents in claiming thousands in compensation for overlooked damage or substandard repairs. Simply put, no one understands your home better than a home builder, and we’ve been building homes since 2004. Additionally, we collaborate with the best Engineers & Building Surveyors in Christchurch to strengthen your claim. Have you encountered a situation where your property damage has been labeled as historical, while your neighbor’s property was completely rebuilt? You’re not alone.

We increased a $25,000 payout to $400,000 just by correctly identifying a crack in a wall, more than 10 years after the Christchurch Earthquake

How? By investigating the root cause. As experienced home builders, we know where to look. We delve into historical documentation, uncovering the paper trail to reveal the backstory. All findings are compiled into a ‘Preliminary Building Report,’ submitted directly to the team at EQC.

This is the first step for your claim.

We thoroughly consider everything, including the Building Code, to ensure your claim is as robust as possible. While in some cases we may need to engage a Building Surveyor, a Structural Engineer is almost always involved.
