Scope of Service
According to BC Housing, over 30,000 new homes are enrolled in the 2-5-10 Home Warranty program annually in British Columbia, providing homeowners with independent protection for materials, building envelope, and structural components.

01
What Does BC Housing Certification Mean?
In British Columbia, residential builders constructing new homes are required by the Homeowner Protection Act to be licensed through BC Housing. A BC Housing Licensed Residential Builder has met registration requirements, demonstrated financial stability, and enrolled in mandatory warranty insurance. This licensing system protects homeowners by ensuring builders meet minimum standards and that new homes are covered by warranty insurance. CoreVal Homes maintains active registration with BC Housing and complies with all licensing requirements.
02
The 2-5-10 Home Warranty Explained
The 2-5-10 Home Warranty is mandatory insurance coverage for new homes in BC. It provides three tiers of protection: 2 years of coverage for defects in materials and labour (including distribution systems like plumbing and electrical), 5 years of coverage for building envelope deficiencies (water penetration through the building envelope), and 10 years of coverage for structural defects (load-bearing components of the home). CoreVal's homes are enrolled in this warranty program through Pacific Home Warranty, providing homeowners with independent third-party protection for their investment.
03
Why BC Housing Certification Matters for Homeowners
Hiring a BC Housing certified builder protects you in several ways. First, it guarantees your new home or major renovation is covered by warranty insurance — if a defect arises, you have an independent claims process. Second, it ensures the builder has met licensing requirements and is accountable to a regulatory body. Third, BC Housing maintains a public registry where you can verify any builder's license status, warranty history, and standing. CoreVal encourages every prospective client to verify our license through the BC Housing builder registry before signing a contract.
04
How to Verify a Builder's BC Housing Registration
BC Housing maintains a searchable online registry of all licensed residential builders in the province. You can verify any builder's license status, check for past claims, and confirm active warranty enrollment. Visit the BC Housing website and search by builder name or license number. CoreVal Homes' registration is active and in good standing — we invite you to verify this independently as part of your due diligence.
