Our local experience, recognized for its professionalism, responsiveness, and attentiveness, allows us to offer tailored advice for every situation.
What is the ten-year warranty?
The ten-year warranty is a mandatory insurance for any professional involved in the construction or renovation of a building. It covers for ten years, starting from the acceptance of the work, damages that could compromise the solidity of the structure or render it unfit for its intended use. This protection applies to a wide range of projects: individual houses, buildings, professional premises, extensions, or major renovations.
It concerns both individuals wishing to secure their investments and professionals keen to protect their activity and the trust of their clients. In case of proven damage, the ten-year warranty covers the repair of the damages, without waiting for a court decision, thus offering real legal and financial security.

Why is the ten-year warranty indispensable in Carpentras?
In the Carpentras region, specific climatic conditions (mistral, heavy rains, temperature variations) and the diversity of soil types can exacerbate the risks of disorders in constructions. These local specificities make the ten-year warranty even more essential to anticipate unforeseen events that could affect the durability of your housing or professional premises.
Our clients regularly seek us for questions related to protection against hidden defects, such as cracks or infiltrations that appeared several years after the work. Thanks to a insurance tailored to your project, we can offer customized solutions designed for the local context.

Covered risks: hidden defects and work protection
The ten-year warranty addresses serious risks, often invisible to the naked eye at the time of acceptance of the work. We are talking about hidden defects or damages compromising the solidity of the structure:
- Significant cracks on load-bearing walls
- Floor settlement
- Waterproofing issues or water infiltration
- Major thermal insulation defects
- Malfunctioning of systems integral to the building (heating, networks…)
This protection encompasses both new constructions and extensions or renovations that affect the structure. As an owner or investor, the ten-year warranty allows you to demand a quick compliance, without having to prove the fault of the professional. It is a key security to protect the value of your property.
To better understand the extent of the covered risks, the site of the French Federation of Building offers a detailed overview.
Who is concerned by the ten-year warranty?
All construction professionals are required to take out a ten-year insurance before starting a site: craftsmen, contractors, architects, project managers, as well as self-employed workers.

We support many clients, whether they are owners, young professionals, retirees, or professionals, at every stage of their real estate project.
