Protect your home with combined Building Insurance.
If your home is damaged or destroyed by a covered incident, CGU will cover the cost to repair or rebuild it, up to the sum insured.
Additionally, if you can't live in your home due to damage from a covered incident, CGU help cover the costs of temporary accommodation for up to a year.
For more comprehensive coverage, consider choosing Home Building Plus when you get a quote.
And if you’re looking for the highest level of cover, choose Home Building & Contents Plus when you’re getting a quote.
Home Building Plus gives you:
A Safety Net of an extra 25% on top of your sum insured, if your home needs to be rebuilt or repaired.
Plus, 2 years’ temporary accommodation if you can’t live in your home, instead of 12 months with Building and Contents Insurance Standard.
Plus, higher limits on some inclusions, like landscaping. Read the Product Disclosure Statement to see exactly what’s included.

- Can I insure for more than your online building calculator says?
Yes, you can. The calculation provided is just a guide. It's your responsibility to ensure your home is insured for its full replacement value. However, if you insure your home for more than the cost to repair, replace, or rebuild, CGU will only pay the actual cost of repairing, replacing, or rebuilding.
- What is Accidental Damage Cover in My Home Insurance Policy?
Accidental damage cover protects you when unexpected mishaps occur around your home. For instance, if you accidentally put your foot through the ceiling while in the roof. Whether your building is covered depends on your policy. Accidental damage cover can be added as an optional benefit to your Building Standard policy. If you upgrade to Building Plus, it’s automatically included.
- Can I Choose My Own Repairer for My Home Repairs?
Yes, you can choose who repairs your home. However, if you decide not to use one of CGU’s partner repairers, they won't be able to guarantee the workmanship or repairs that are completed, nor assist in managing the repairer regarding timeframes or quality. CGU will also only pay you the fair and reasonable amount that the repairs should cost.
