The New Home Warranty Program of Manitoba Inc. is a non-profit
organization comprised of a Board of Directors, a Registration
Committee, a Technical Committee, and staff.
Board of Directors
The heart of our organization can be found in our Board
which is comprised of 5 elected Builder Members and 5 appointed
Non-Builder representatives from associated industries.
Our Board is responsible for the Program's longevity by involving
themselves in almost every mechanism which provides organization
and direction to the New Home Warranty Program. The balanced representation
between builders and non-builders ensures that the direction taken
is equitable for both builder members and homeowners. It also allows
for flexibility, a diverse knowledge base, and a progressive outlook
when it comes to decision making and policy revision. Some of the
areas in which the Board is involved are:
- Policies and procedures
- Projects and joint-ventures
- Ratification of decisions made by our Committees resulting in
their resolution
Technical Committee
Our Technical Committee is responsible for reviewing and
providing recommendations on all claims involving a possible
'major structural defect' (2 - 5 year items). The Committee
is also involved in any dispute or revision regarding the
warranty clauses and defect guidelines. Representation is
comprised of 3 builder members, a qualified Engineer and a
City of Winnipeg Inspections Officer. The expertise and dedication
of this Committee ensures that claims are dealt with fairly
and in a timely manner.
Registration Committee
The Registration Committee meets to review membership renewals
and new applications for membership. This Committee is comprised
of representation from the Canadian Bankers' Association,
the Program's Chief Operating Officer, an accountant, and
a lawyer.
Staff
Our office is currently comprised of a Chief Operating Officer
and Administrative Staff. The staff are responsible for all
incoming inquiries, claims review, the processing of various
forms, registration and renewal of membership, and advertising.
