The Principles of our Mission
Our Keywords
For Q it will always be about quality. We’re passionate about “getting it right first time” and providing those constructing the buildings with real support and guidance. We guarantee a minimum of 8 inspections per unit (with many more depending upon size, type and complexity) which is more than any other Structural Defects Insurer in the UK – and we will continue to ensure we have the best risk management approach in the country!
We think we’re reasonable people and because of this, the underlying principle of The Q Policy is to adopt a fair, reasonable and consistent approach with all of our stakeholders during the underwriting & build processes and ensuring a consistent approach to claims decisions and cover.
We’re not about policing our partners’ sites – we have a vested interest in them getting it right first time, because then our customers buy a quality product. So we will work with them to provide guidance, assistance, training and support to ensure that together, we will create a top quality product, as free from Structural Defects as humanly possible!
We understand the actual needs of our customers; that the building they purchase (as a home, work environment or investment) is the quality product they were promised. Because of this, we have been able to develop The Q Policy to be of maximum benefit to all property owners and in our aims, communications, documentation and systems; we attempt to demonstrate a clear and concise framework with policies written from a foundation of fairness and openness without clouding any of our policy intentions with “clever” wording.
