How program insures builders homes with consumer benefits
The HOW program fixes major structural and mechanical defects at builder expense for eight years with insurance covering costs if the builder fails. Builders pay $2 per $1,000 value, so a $40,000 home costs $80 to insure, the builder bears the tab, and if the builder goes bankrupt early the insurer pays. Conciliation and arbitration aim to cut court battles and nuisance complaints, with disputes escalating to a formal arbitrator if needed.
