options for Builders
01
Contract work insurance
Helps protect work in progress and materials on site if they are damaged by an insured event before completion.
03
Goods in transit insurance
Helps cover materials, fixtures or tools while they are being moved between your premises, suppliers and sites.
02
Professional indemnity insurance
Helps with legal costs and claims if a client alleges your design, specification or advice has caused them a financial loss.
04
Legal expenses insurance
Can help with the cost of certain legal disputes, such as contract or employment issues, up to the policy limits.
Type of building work
Structural work, roofing and major refurb jobs usually cost more than light repairs, small extensions or internal-only work.
Contract size and turnover
Larger projects, higher annual turnover and more active sites increase the potential size and number of claims insurers price for.
Workforce and claims record
More employees, labour-only subcontractors and a recent run of claims can push premiums up, while a smaller, well managed team and clean record may help keep costs down.
Tools, plant and site security
The value of your tools, plant and materials, and how securely you store them on site, in vans or in yards, can affect the cost of cover.
