Construction
Whether you are a property developer, building contractor, or a homeowner with a property undergoing renovation, we are here to help you understand exactly what insurances will cover you and keep your investments safe.
Working in construction is very complex with many risks. Construction insurance (or contractor’s insurance) is designed to protect against the loss or damage to building works, contract materials, and equipment involved in construction.
We have knowledge and experience of placing cover for all types of contracting businesses from sole traders through to large multi-discipline contracting businesses. With facilities for all trades including “high risk” activities, we are able to look after all of your insurance requirements.
