What insurance do builders need?

Public Liability

Builders are the first port of call when something goes wrong on site. Public liability responds to injury or property damage to others, whether caused by you or a subcontractor under your control. Principals and financiers commonly require $10m or $20m.

Contract Works

The build itself while it is under way: your materials and the works in progress, against fire, storm, theft and accidental damage before hand-over. Arranged per project or across an annual program.

Plant & Machinery

Owned and hired plant, from excavators and scaffolding to formwork and site sheds. Plant cover repairs or replaces the gear a build depends on.

Annual Programs

Running several jobs at once? An annual program covers every project you start in the year under one policy and one renewal, instead of insuring each job separately.

Workers & Subcontractors

When you put on staff or rely on subcontractors, the right workers and liability cover protects you when someone is hurt on your site, in line with your state's scheme.
