Insurance For Builders

Contract Works is a broad policy for those in the Building and Construction trade. It can be taken as a contract-specific policy or annually with a transfer or run-off basis, primarily covering material damage and liability.

Contract Works can cover:

  • Construction of residential, commercial and industrial structures
  • Third party liability – legal liability to third parties who suffer personal injury or property damage due to the Insured’s negligence
  • Advanced Business Interruption (or Delay in Start Up) – covers loss of profit caused by a delay in completing a project and is available on a gross-profits, rentals or holding-costs basis

Protection For Home Owners

Builders Home Warranty or Residential Construction Warranty is required by law for all residential work over $16,000 (other than developments over three stories) to protect homeowners from financial loss from non-completion or defective workmanship should their builder disappear, become insolvent or die. Cover extends for six years from completion date.

Warranty insurance can be provided to the following businesses:

  • Home Builders and Renovators
  • Pool Builders
  • Cabinet Makers
  • Painters and Decorators
  • Plumbers
  • Electricians
  • Landscapers
  • Owner Builders
  • And any other project where warranty is required

Generally, applications can be processed without the need for onerous requirements such as bank guarantees and restructure of business, although these will of course be required at times.
