Construction & Contractors Insurance
As a business in construction and contracting, you face a variety of risks from the moment you undertake a new project to completion. We’ll work with you to build a solution that can help keep your business protected and stay competitive.
Construction Projects Insurance
When a project involves many moving parts, problems can arise quickly. Our construction project insurance is a tailored package that addresses specific exposures within new construction projects, including residential, commercial, institutional, and infrastructure.
General Contractors Insurance
Overseeing complex projects with many moving parts? Our general contractors’ insurance policy covers the duration of your project, helping you over the bumps you may meet along the way.
We know that contracting risks come in different forms. Exposures can vary in size and complexity, and they can evolve as the project continues. We’ve built our general contractors’ insurance package with these facts in mind, and it will cater to your work, whether your operation is large or you run a small business.
Trade Contractors Insurance
Do you specialize in electrical work, interior finishing, or concrete installation? We can work with you to build a trade contractors coverage plan to address the different risks you face.
Why do you need construction & contractors insurance?
As a business in this industry, your insurance needs vary depending on the type of projects you undertake. You may be exposed to risks such as fire, theft, crime, and equipment breakdown. A tailored, reliable coverage plan can help you stay competitive and protect your business.
Contractors Error & Omissions
This type of coverage can protect you in the event of a cost relating to an error, omission, or negligence that led to unsatisfactory results. For example, faulty wiring in an electrical system.
Contractors Equipment Floater
This coverage can provide an extension that will pay to replace a piece of damaged equipment. For example, if your new excavator engine bay was damaged from a fire, even after you tried to extinguish the flames.
Installation Floater
If a problem comes up before you can begin work, an installation floater extension can cover labour and materials involved in installation, including property temporarily stored at another location.
Non-Owned Automobile
If an employee drives their own car to pick up tools for a job and is involved in an accident, this coverage can help cover the cost of damage or expenses resulting from an injury to another driver.
