Construction & Contractors Insurance

Construction workers and contractors both typically work in high-risk environments each day. Whether you’re working on a construction site or a commercial property, every day comes with its own challenges that can prevent you from doing the best job for your client.

A policy from Plan Insurance Brokers will safeguard you from these challenges and protect your business, allowing you to focus all your energy into perfecting your craft.

Construction and Contractor insurance policies cover a property during the time construction is taking place whether it’s being renovated or repaired. These policies are usually taken out by the property owner or contractor. The main risks you could face are Property damage, Income loss, Employee injuries and Liability risks.

Construction and contractor’s insurance policies usually include:

• Public Liability
• Product Liability
• Professional Indemnity
• Business Interruption
• Contractors All Risks

Having the right risk management procedures in place is vitally important for construction firms. Correct, up to date document templates and guides can help you minimise risk and remain compliant with regulations. Failure to do so could result in huge potential liabilities as well as the threat of criminal prosecution.

As part of our goal to prevent claims we offer our construction and contractors clients personalised Health and Safety documents, Risk Assessments, Method Statements and much more. These additional documents are supplied to your business at no extra cost when you take out a policy with Plan. Read more about our construction site and contractors risk management services here.
