Built for Life: Sundancer Homes’ Lifetime Structural Guarantee
Building a new home is a major investment, and confidence in your builder matters. At Sundancer Homes, we build homes designed for long-term living, quality, and durability. That’s why every Sundancer home is backed by our Lifetime Structural Guarantee, giving homeowners peace of mind that their home is built to last.
Our Lifetime Structural Guarantee reflects our commitment to structural integrity, thoughtful design, and quality construction from the ground up.
What Is a Lifetime Structural Guarantee?
A Lifetime Structural Guarantee provides long-term protection for the essential structural elements of your home — the components that ensure safety, stability, and performance over time.
Sundancer Homes’ Lifetime Structural Guarantee applies in addition to your rights under the Australian Consumer Law and relevant home building legislation, including:
- A two-year statutory warranty for non-major defects
- A six-year statutory warranty for major defects
This guarantee applies to the original homeowner named on the Building Agreement and is not transferable.
What Does the Sundancer Homes Lifetime Structural Guarantee Cover?
The structure of your home is fundamental to its longevity. Our Lifetime Structural Guarantee covers key structural components, including:
- Concrete slab, footings, and piers
- Structural wall and roof framing
- Roof trusses
- Load-bearing brickwork
Coverage applies where a major structural failure occurs as a result of defective design or construction. This includes circumstances where:
- A structural defect makes part or all of the home unsuitable for its intended use
- Structural Physical damage occurs to the home
- The structural defect presents a risk to the home’s structural stability
If a qualifying structural failure occurs, Sundancer Homes will rectify the issue at no cost, subject to the terms and conditions of the guarantee.
This ensures your home isn’t just visually appealing — it’s structurally sound for the long term.
What Is Not Covered?
While the Sundancer Homes Lifetime Structural Guarantee offers long-term reassurance, certain exclusions apply to maintain clarity and fairness. These are standard across the building industry.
The guarantee does not cover structural issues caused by:
- Renovations, extensions, or structural changes completed after handover
- Work carried out by unauthorised or unqualified trades affecting, adjacent or near the home
- Natural events such as storms, floods, fire, earthquakes, or extreme weather
- Poor site drainage, landscaping changes, or altered ground conditions
- Pest or termite damage
- Lack of reasonable ongoing maintenance, including plumbing leaks or unchecked tree roots
- Normal wear and tear, minor settlement cracking, or material shrinkage
- Failure to follow maintenance guidelines provided at handover, including CSIRO foundation care guidance
In these situations, appropriate home and building insurance is strongly recommended.
Why Choose Sundancer Homes?
Choosing the right home builder means choosing confidence beyond handover. The Sundancer Homes Lifetime Structural Guarantee reflects our belief in building homes that deliver lasting value, strength, and reliability.
When you build with Sundancer Homes, you’re choosing a home designed for living — and built to last.
