If you manage construction projects, your exposure doesn’t end with liability; the work itself remains at risk until completion. Contract works insurance is designed to protect projects in progress against unexpected events that could derail delivery and profitability.
Construction sites carry inherent risk. Public liability insurance covers claims from third parties for injury or property damage caused by your work, essential for protecting your business against site-based exposure.
If you employ staff, employers’ liability insurance is a legal requirement. It protects your business against claims from employees who are injured or become ill as a result of their work.
Contract works insurance covers work in progress against risks such as fire, flood, storm damage, vandalism or theft before practical completion, preventing you from absorbing the cost of rebuilding or repairing partially completed works.
Given the reliance on equipment across most projects, plant and tools cover protects owned or hired machinery and equipment against loss, theft or damage.
If your business involves design responsibility or professional advice, professional indemnity insurance protects against claims arising from design errors, miscalculations, or negligence.
