Tailored Insurance for Construction Businesses
Working in the construction industry comes with a unique set of operational and financial risks. Whether you’re managing residential builds, commercial projects or specialised trade work, having the right insurance in place can help protect your business, assets and ongoing projects.
What insurance types do Construction Businesses need?
Construction businesses often require a combination of insurance covers to help protect against operational, financial and legal risks. Depending on your activities and business structure, cover may include:
Public Liability Insurance
Helps protect construction businesses if a third party is injured or their property is damaged as a result of your work. This is an essential cover for on-site activities where members of the public, clients or other contractors may be exposed to risk.
Contract Works Insurance
Provides cover for building projects and works in progress during construction. It helps protect against loss or damage to materials, labour and work completed on-site from unexpected events.
Tools & Equipment Cover
Protects the portable tools and equipment used by construction workers across different job sites. This helps reduce the financial impact of theft, loss or accidental damage.
Plant & Machinery Insurance
Covers larger machinery used in construction projects, helping protect against accidental damage, breakdown or loss that could disrupt operations.
Workers Compensation Insurance
Provides protection for employees who are injured or become ill due to their work. It helps cover medical costs, rehabilitation and wage replacement where required.
