Owner Builder Insurance :

Owner-Builder insurance is one of the most important requirements when embarking upon your project.

If your project were being done by a registered builder, the builder would hold this construction insurance. As an owner-builder you will now need to instead arrange this cover. Remember, the insurance should start before your project starts. For information and a DIY quotation please see below.

Stegbar - Wind Loads for Housing

There are many issues to consider before you can choose the right window or door for your home.

Apart from how it looks, there are the practicalities - location, how it opens, how much ventilation you want, and most importantly whether the product you buy is suitable for its intended purpose.

As you will probably only buy windows and doors once or twice in your lifetime, it is a decision that you should consider carefully.

At Stegbar we have built a reputation based on innovative design, unsurpassed craftsmanship, leading edge technology, and uncompromising customer service. Our professionally trained sales representatives will help you find the perfect solution for your home.
