Structural Warranty

Definition

A structural warranty is a legally binding guarantee provided by a contractor or builder that the main structural elements of a building will remain free from structural defects for a specified period.

Explained Simply

A structural warranty covers the primary structural components: foundations, columns, beams, slabs, and load-bearing walls. It does not cover cosmetic finishes, fixtures, or maintenance items. Buildogram's warranty period is 10 years for structural elements. The warranty is documented in a warranty certificate that specifies the covered elements, warranty period, and claim process.

Why This Matters for Homeowners

A structural warranty protects the owner if structural defects appear after handover and provides buyer confidence during resale.

⚠ Common Mistake

Accepting a verbal warranty or a generic "we will fix any problem" promise without a written, signed warranty certificate specifying covered elements and period.
