As part of the ongoing efforts by your board of directors to acquire benefits for the members of the association, we embarked in a fairly length request for proposals process to engage with an Insurance Broker of record.
After nearly 3 and 1/2 months of negotiations we finally awarded the service provision to Hub Insurance of Oakville.
We have negotiated a series of insurance packages for our members, and these offer decreased premiums across the board for fully paid-up members of OntarioACHI.
All of our members, who are claims free and have more than 2 years experience, will receive a 10% discount on their E&O and GL Insurance. Inspectors who are claims free and also hold either the CMI or CCHI certification will get and extra 2.5% discount.
The CCHI program has been designed to pre-empt the requirements for regulation in Ontario. The board believe that the requirements are in alignment with the recommendations being put forward to the Ontario Government as requirements for Inspectors who want to obtain a License to practice.
Inspectors who wish to attain the Canadian Certified Home Inspector (CCHI) designation are required to have mandatory E&O and GL insurance, and because of the discounts negotiated on behalf of our members MUST purchase it through the broker of record, Hub Insurance of Oakville.
We feel assured that you will not be able to get a better deal for insurance of this coverage anywhere else.
