NHC/EQC Insurance Repairs

The Canterbury earthquakes were a difficult time for all of us. JAR Builders are experienced in working with your insurance company and EQC/NHC repairers to ensure we get the job done right the first time. If your home has been damaged by a natural hazard event, for example, earthquakes, storms, floods, or landslides, you need a builder who understands the unique requirements of the Natural Hazards Commission Toka Tū Ake (formerly EQC) and private insurance claims.

EQC On-Sold Repairs

Did you apply for the Government’s On-Sold repairs program? If so, we can help you navigate the process of getting your repairs taken care of. We understand that this process can be daunting and a time of confusion and overwhelm. We can guide you through the process to simplify and make it much easier on everyone concerned.

The EQC on-sold program (now administered by the Natural Hazards Commission Toka Tū Ake) is still running for existing applicants only. It is in its final phase, and new applications are no longer being accepted (the deadline for applications to the program was 14 October 2020). The Natural Hazards Commission is currently working with applicants to complete the process under the new deadlines and criteria.

For more specific guidance and information, current applicants can visit the Natural Hazards Commission Toka Tū Ake website or contact their assigned settlement specialist.
