Testimonial

Testimonial - Comdain

Back in 2016 Comdain Homes was unhappy with our current general insurance broker and went to the market.

We had always used Master Builders Insurance Brokers for our Warranty but not General Insurance. We met with the Victorian team and they delivered an impressive presentation and cost effective insurance program for us to consider. Our business relationship began that year and I’m sure will continue into the future.

Testimonial - AET

Edwina Lyall at MBIB has looked after our insurance needs for well over a decade.

We have always been well looked after and feel confident that we are covered for our many and varied activities. We have had several urgent projects with big corporations with tricky contractual terms needing to be finalised and agreed in a short period of time to which Edwina has always managed brilliantly on our behalf.

Testimonial

Testimonial - TC Build

As a growing Residential Builder, being caught up by the constraints of Insurance at a governmental level is one of our worst nightmares.

The importance of having an adequately experienced and proactive brokerage firm at your side is absolutely paramount if you want to be able to weave your way through an increasingly complex regime. This is where MBIB comes into their own.

Knowingly, we had a very complex and unique case ahead of us, but the team were able to dissect and organise our case to quickly progress through the channels in a very efficient manner.
