Why do I need Construction insurance?

Construction sites are hazardous places. Insurance is essential if you own, run or manage a construction or building site – or provide a service that involves being on a construction site for any time.

Construction Insurance will help in case your business comes under threat from a claim. Legal claims can come in many shapes and forms – from an injured employee (or ex employee) to a disgruntled contractor.

Having robust Construction Insurance in place will help you fight the claim and cover any related costs. In many cases it can mean the difference between your business sinking or swimming.

What does a typical Construction Insurance plan include?

Every business is different, even within the construction sector. One of the benefits of choosing BJP as your insurance broker is that we work hard to cater to your individual needs, addressing the most serious risks that your specific business runs, and finding you an insurance plan that covers your needs.

That said, there are some covers we advise almost every construction business to take out. These include:

Public Liability Insurance

Imagine you were working at a client’s premises and a falling brick or faulty wiring damaged their property – or worse, injured a member of the public. Public Liability Insurance would protect you by covering the cost of your legal defence as well as any compensation payments or legal expenses.

Employers Liability Insurance

If your business employs staff – even part-time casual workers, Employers Liability is a must. In fact, it’s a legal requirement. If you were sued by an employee who claimed you were responsible for a chronic disease or serious accident, the legal costs and compensation demands could put you out of business.

Contract Works/Contractors All Risks Insurance

Imagine if a wall you were constructing collapsed due to bad weather, your Contract Works Insurance would cover the cost of rebuilding the wall. This cover also pays out for replacements if you have equipment stolen from your site.
