What is Construction Insurance?
Construction insurance (also known as contract works insurance or contractors all risks insurance) is primarily taken by commercial, residential & owner-builders.
However, it is also commonly taken out by specialist contractors engaged on these projects who must take responsibility for their own works (e.g. HVAC installers).
Most businesses will elect to take an annual policy that covers any projects which commence during the policy period. For specialist, ad hoc or owner-builders a single project policy is available too.
What can be covered
- The project under construction
- Damage to existing structures
- Materials in transit and/or in storage
- Public liability
- Malicious damage & vandalism
- Natural disasters, weather perils
What may not be
- Known defects
- Intentional misconduct
- Inventory shortage
- Projects exceeding declared duration
- Projects north of the 25th parallel (unless noted)
Get Started with Construction Insurance
Ensure your project can keep moving forward with construction insurance.
Construction claim example
Aaron is a roofing contractor engaged to replace the roof on his local church. One afternoon while working on the roof, he notices a large storm approaching.
Aaron secures the roof as best he can to try and protect the site. Unfortunately, the storm is too severe and causes damage to the work he’d done, as well as the materials on site.
Luckily Aaron had contract works insurance which paid for the replacement materials, and also Aaron’s fees while he redoes the work for the church.
The church is fortunate Aaron had more than liability insurance which wouldn’t have responded (he secured the work). If Aaron didn’t have contract works, the church may have been stuck and unable to pay for the repairs themselves.
