Home Buildings Insurance

You can choose which type of policy you want to protect your home with SGIC Insurance, including:

  • Home Buildings Insurance – protects against loss or damage caused by things such as storm or fire, and includes a lifetime guarantee on the workmanship of all authorised repairs and/or rebuilding.
  • Home Buildings and Contents Combined Insurance – one policy that covers both home and contents means you only have one premium.
  • Home Plus Insurance – all the protection of our Home Buildings Insurance, with extra protection for things like automatic cover for accidental damage and burn out of electric motors (fusion) plus our safety net for additional rebuilding costs.
