What is a Structural Warranty?
A Structural Warranty, specifically the Professional Consultant’s Certificate (PCC), is vital for ensuring the quality and compliance of construction projects. It certifies that a development adheres to approved plans and building regulations, offering reassurance to both developers and lenders. This warranty acts as a safeguard against future structural issues, confirming that the construction is professionally supervised and dependable.
Projects That Need a Structural Warranty
New builds and conversion projects often require a Structural Warranty. These developments must meet stringent safety and durability criteria. The PCC provides assurance to all stakeholders that the project has been meticulously monitored, ensuring all necessary standards are met. This is particularly important for projects aiming to secure financing and attract potential investors.
Lenders’ Requirements for a Structural Warranty
In the UK, lenders frequently mandate a Structural Warranty like the PCC as a condition for financing new or converted properties. It guarantees that the construction has been professionally overseen, complying with all regulatory requirements. The warranty extends liability for six years, safeguarding their investment and preserving the property’s value and structural integrity. Integrated Design’s PCC is crucial for meeting these lender requirements, facilitating smooth property transactions.
