Browse Forums General Discussion Re: Quote for raising house and building underneath 77Jan 27, 2009 4:08 pm We are planning to owner build and raise in Brisbane... have just got the preliminary plans drawn up by the architect... this site has been a great help so far - very interesting to hear what others have done
I am wondering if anyone has any insurance suggestions. We currently have home and contents with RACQ but they have advised me that as we are doing renovations >$50K that we will not be covered for legal liability for the entire time our raise and build in takes to complete (could be a couple of years!). Has anyone got any suggestions? I am assuming that the various subcontractors that we will use will have their own insurance??? But what about people that come to visit our house etc? Would appreciate any suggestions! Re: Quote for raising house and building underneath 78Jan 28, 2009 8:01 am I'm not sure about an OB but as a Principal Contractor I need to have in effect a policy with Workcover to cover Subbies as well. This is for possible injury and not Product Liability.

We're definitely prepared for a 12 month process after reading everyone's experiences. Great to hear that things are now moving relativelt quickly for you.
