experience who has worked on sites ranging from \u00a3500,000 to \u00a310m.<\/p>\n<p>Advantage has provided structural defects insurance on several of these projects, some of which are ongoing.<\/p>\n<p>The firm offers builders and developers like Barry site visits at short notice and a single point of contact from design stage through to completion.<\/p>\n<p>Taking this approach guarantees continuity and consistency in dealing with the challenges that projects face.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This ebook contains case studies highlighting the breadth of Advantage&#8217;s structural defects insurance services across three very different projects<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":43214,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"stakeholder_rel_tag":[172367],"ebook_category":[172301,172215],"ebook_tag":[172232,172233],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-43053","1":"ebook","2":"type-ebook","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"stakeholder_rel_tag-ahci-advantage"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Advantage - Structural Defects Insurance experts |<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"This ebook contains case studies highlighting the breadth of Advantage&#039;s structural defects insurance services across three very different projects\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/ebook\/structural-defects-insurance-experts\/43053\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Advantage - Structural Defects Insurance experts\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"This ebook contains case studies highlighting the breadth of Advantage&#039;s structural defects insurance services across three very different projects\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/ebook\/structural-defects-insurance-experts\/43053\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
