Contracts Works
Contract Work Insurance is designed to cover construction related activities and assets on a single project or on an annual cover basis, for builders, tradesmen and subcontractors. It covers you for any sudden and unforeseen loss against physical and/or accidental damage whilst the construction is in progress and for a period of time during the maintenance period of a project.
Construction, Erection, Assembly of Buildings
This policy safeguards the entire building creation process, protecting structural components, materials, and equipment from initial groundwork to completion. It covers unexpected damages, material losses, and risks associated with constructing new structures, ensuring financial security throughout the building process.
Civil Works
Specifically designed for large-scale infrastructure projects, civil works insurance addresses unique challenges in road construction, bridge building, utility installations, and public infrastructure projects. The coverage protects against ground preparation damages, machinery accidents, and potential environmental impacts of complex engineering projects.
Public and Products Liability
This critical coverage shields contractors from third-party claims, including bodily injuries to non-workers and property damage. It provides financial protection against potential legal expenses, compensation claims, and incidents occurring on or around the construction site, acting as a crucial safety net for project stakeholders.
Wet & Dry Works
Wet works protection focuses on water-related installations, plumbing, and marine projects, while dry works coverage addresses interior construction, electrical systems, and non-water-intensive processes. This comprehensive approach ensures protection across different construction scenarios.
Existing Structures
Designed to protect pre-existing buildings and infrastructure during construction or renovation. This policy prevents damage to adjacent properties, maintains structural integrity, and provides critical coverage for working near historical or sensitive structures, minimizing potential financial risks from construction activities.
Tools, Plant, and Equipment
The policy covers everything from small hand tools to large specialized equipment, ensuring contractors can work with confidence knowing their valuable assets are protected both on-site and in transit, against theft, accidental damage, and loss.
