Lower North Shore developer WINIM is setting a new industry standard by integrating the 10-year Latent Defects Insurance (LDI) from Resilience Insurance into its business model. This decision reflects WINIM's commitment to quality and consumer confidence in the off-plan property market.
WINIM’s Winning Strategy with LDI
WINIM has quickly adopted LDI for its latest residential projects, solidifying its position as a forward-thinking developer. Senior Development Manager Peitra Creak highlights the dual benefits of LDI: protecting buyers and enhancing the developer’s reputation.
Boosting Buyer Confidence
LDI offers a decade of coverage for structural defects, instilling confidence in off-plan buyers. Creak emphasizes that partnering with an iCIRT-rated builder and incorporating LDI preempts potential construction issues, ensuring robust project delivery.
Proactive Risk Management
The policy’s proactive approach is a significant advantage. Insurers provide continuous oversight from the start of construction, conducting technical inspections regularly. This not only mitigates risks but also ensures high standards throughout the build process.

Competitive Edge
Creak believes that LDI will become a decisive factor for buyers choosing between competing projects. Developments with LDI offer a compelling value proposition, potentially leaving competitors without this policy at a disadvantage.
Future Projects with LDI
WINIM plans to apply LDI to its upcoming developments in Lane Cove and Neutral Bay, reinforcing its commitment to quality and consumer assurance.
Why Resilience LDI Matters
Resilience LDI is the first of its kind in Australia, offering a 10-year warranty on structural components of new apartments. This policy is a game-changer, providing peace of mind for buyers and a strategic tool for developers to enhance their market appeal.
By integrating Resilience LDI, WINIM not only safeguards its projects but also sets a benchmark in the property development industry, fostering trust and reliability.
