25 Year Owner Transferable Structural Guarantee

The builder guarantees to the owner that it will rectify at no cost to the owner any structural failure of a steel frame, timber frame, concrete slab or footing erected in accordance with the contract, if a claim for that failure is made within 25 years from the date of practical completion of the works. Structural failure is damage classified as category 3 or higher as defined in Australian Standard 2870. The owner acknowledges that this extended structural guarantee may by voided, at the discretion of the builder, if the structural failure is the result of damage caused by storm, fire, flooding, subsequent building works, trees, retaining walls or site conditions or events outside of the control of the builder including latent conditions, or where loss or damage arises due to a failure by the owner to ensure site maintenance, termite treatments or site drainage requirements, including in accordance with advice from the builder at handover and the CSIRO guide to footing and maintenance.

A successor in title will have the same rights and benefits of the 25 year structural guarantee as the original owner, with the same terms and limitations if within 6 months of becoming the registered owner of the land they notify McDonald Jones Homes via the dedicated notification form at mcdonaldjoneshomes.com.au, produce a receipt of that notification generated by the McDonald Jones website form and provide access for an inspection. That inspection may include an assessment of any actions or omissions of the previous owner, or other causes that may have voided the guarantee. 

This extended structural guarantee only applies to homes where a tender acceptance fee has been paid after 1 July 2022 and the original construction contract expressly includes the guarantee.
