Once the plans, specification and the application form for the structural warranty is made, the provider will consider the application and provide a quotation, or if further information is required, a request for additional information and a non-binding indication of premium.

The premium and surveying fees are calculated on the specifics of the particular building or development. If the quotation is accepted, the warranty provider will supply the policy documentation and a technical manual.

The construction begins and the site inspections are scheduled in line with the build stages to ensure compliance with the warranty standards (usually higher than Building Control standards). Once the construction phase is complete and certified the structural defects period then usually begins.
