Residential Focus - 18 July 2018

Australia’s cladding crisis sends insurance premiums soaring

As at 12 March 2018, a total of 412 buildings in NSW have been identified as requiring further assessment as a high priority because they have cladding in a quantity, location and/or arrangement which potentially increases fire risks. While industry stakeholders and government authorities continue to assess the extent of the combustible cladding crisis in NSW and across Australia, insurance companies have been proactive in increasing insurance premiums and inserting exclusions around cladding related claims into their policies in anticipation of the forthcoming wave of professional indemnity claims. 

Who is effected? 

Accredited certifiers, building surveyors and body corporates are being notably effected by the insurance industry’s response to the Australian cladding crisis. 

With regard to certifiers, in accordance with section 63 of the Building Professionals Act 2005 (NSW) (Act) and regulation 10 of the Building Professionals Regulation 2007 (NSW) (Regulation), accredited certifiers are required to hold professional indemnity insurance that indemnifies certifiers against their statutory liability (which can arise from, amongst other things, breach of professional duty, or a negligent act, error or omission by the certifier).

As a consequence, professional indemnity insurers are subjecting the renewal of policies to a great deal of scrutiny when it comes to cladding related claims and have been offering policies to certifiers, which exclude coverage for professional services that involve combustible cladding products. Insurers have also substantially increased its premiums. Blackett Maguire + Goldsmith, a building regulation and certifying firm, has confirmed that its professional indemnity insurance policy doubled from $70,000 last year to more than $120,000 this year. 

The insurance industry’s response to the cladding crisis is making it increasingly difficult for certifiers and building surveyors to obtain professional indemnity insurance or stay afloat in the construction industry. Certifiers and building surveyors are also at risk of obtaining (and practicing with) inadequate insurance coverage with exclusions in the policy, and may consequently be in breach of their accreditation requirements under the Act and Regulation. It is essential that certifiers and building surveyors carefully review their policies (and renewals) to ensure that they are adequately covered for the services they provide. 

Similarly, body corporates responsible for strata plans have been inflicted with soaring insurance premiums. As a consequence, body corporates are being faced with the decision of passing on the increased premiums to lot holders, or increasing levies in order to rectify the building by removing any combustible cladding products. Insurance companies have also been warning lot owners (in buildings with combustible cladding products) that it may refuse insurance cover outright or make is too expensive because of the high safety risks. 

The ongoing implications 

Unless a certifier, building surveyor or body corporate is able to adequately demonstrate to insurers that there are no cladding related issues, it is likely that the certifier, building surveyor or body corporate will be faced with restrictions in coverage, increased premiums, or even total exclusions of cover for claims given the ongoing cladding crisis. 

NSW Fair Trading is aware of the insurance industry’s response to the cladding crisis and the difficulty certifiers are facing in obtaining professional indemnity insurance without exclusions. NSW Fair Trading are also wary that certifiers may be in breach of their accreditation requirements under the Act and Regulation and encourage certifiers to contact NSW Fair Trading (by telephone on (02) 8522 7800 or by email) to discuss the situation. The regulatory response is otherwise fairly limited at this stage.

Missing evidence base for big calls on infrastructure costs us all
When the case for big transport projects is made without due analysis, we risk building the wrong projects.

NSW Fair Trading: Update on professional indemnity insurance and exclusions
N
SW Fair Trading is aware of certifier concerns that a tightening in the professional indemnity insurance market means they may not be able to obtain a new policy without exclusions, particularly those relating to non-compliant external cladding. The lack of insurance to cover a certifier’s statutory liabilities means that the accreditation requirements under the Building Professionals legislation are not being met, affecting their continued operation.
Until clarification of the situation and any broader resolution to this issue, NSW Fair Trading will work closely with individual certifiers to see what can be done. Affected certifiers should contact NSW Fair Trading by phone 8522 7800 or email bpb-accreditation@bpb.nsw.gov.au to discuss their situation.

More housing options for NSW: Low Rise Medium Density Housing Code
The new Code will allow one and two storey dual occupancies, manor houses and terraces to be built under fast-track complying development approval across NSW and also promotes good design for medium density housing. Low-rise medium density housing as complying development is only allowed where medium density development is already permitted under a council’s local environmental plan. The Medium Density Housing Code commenced on 6 July 2018.

Greenfield Housing Code
The changes start on 6 July 2018, the new Code will be included in the State Environmental Planning Policy (Exempt and Complying Development Codes) 2008. In essence; it is a simplifying of the development process and aligning the requirements for development across greenfield areas; the planning rules and the code are also presented in plain English to clearly explain planning rules. More...
Note: There will be a three-year transitional period, where applicants can choose whether to use the Greenfield Code, or the new simplified Housing Code or Transitional Code (until 13 July 2019).
