Plan for your future
With every home you build, your risk exposure increases. By law, you are responsible for the financial impact of any structural defect that occurs in the homes you build for the entire Statute of Repose for your state.
For less than 0.5% of the total purchase price of the home and its land, you can shift your liability to 2-10 HBW, starting the day the home closes. This highly affordable protection provides confidence and security because you know we’ve got your back, now and in the future.
Whether you’re still growing your business or building an exit strategy, transferring your financial liability provides control over what’s behind you so you can keep moving forward.
