CML Building Certification

An alternative to a new build warranty — without the bond.

Our Professional Consultants Certificate is an alternative to a new build warranty — with no deposit bond, membership fee or claims history required. Also known as a CML Building Certificate or Architects Certificate.

How it works

The service involves inspections at critical stages during construction to verify progress and assess structural elements. It delivers a six-year period of cover (as required by UK Finance Lenders), with extension options to ten years, supported by professional indemnity insurance.

Who it's for

Available to private individuals, self-builders and developers — for new build dwellings, and for the conversion of non-domestic buildings to residential properties throughout Norfolk and Suffolk.

10- and 12-year structural warranties

The practice also partners with ABC+ to provide 10- and 12-year structural warranties, with C W Johnson Limited serving as site inspectors for defects in workmanship or construction materials.
