BC's 2-5-10 New Home Warranty, Explained

Every new home built in British Columbia by a licensed residential builder carries a mandatory third-party warranty, known as 2-5-10. It is the single most misunderstood protection a presale buyer has.

2 years covers labour and materials. 5 years covers the building envelope — the part that keeps water out. 10 years covers the structure itself. The clock starts at occupancy, not at contract signing, and missing a claim deadline voids the coverage entirely.

We walk every buyer through what their specific warranty does and does not cover before they sign, and we handle the deficiency walkthrough at completion.
