The Master Builders Fidelity Fund has been established to protect the interests of both consumers and builders in the Australian Capital Territory.
Established under the ACT Building Amendment Act 2002, the Master Builders Fidelity Fund operates under a trust deed and is managed by an independent Board of Trustees.
The Master Builders Fidelity Fund issues Fidelity Certificates to builders, which provide consumer protection for owners of new homes and those making significant changes to their homes. The certificates protect the owner during construction and for a period of 5 years from the date of completion.
