We know construction insurance and insurance for the trades industry.
Construction insurance is a specialised policy designed to protect builders, contractors, and tradespeople from various risks associated with construction projects. It covers damage to the site, materials, and third-party liabilities, ensuring that your business is safeguarded against unforeseen events.
A standard construction insurance policy typically covers contract works (including the structure under construction), public liability, materials and equipment, and potential financial losses due to project delays or interruptions.
Yes, public liability insurance is often included or available as an add-on in construction insurance policies. It protects you against claims of property damage or personal injury caused by your construction activities to third parties.
Absolutely. Construction insurance can include coverage for your tools and equipment, protecting them against theft, damage, and loss while on-site or in transit.
Contract works insurance covers the structure being built, renovated, or extended against risks such as fire, theft, or storm damage during the construction period. This coverage is crucial for ensuring the project can continue or be rebuilt if an incident occurs.
Construction insurance is essential for builders, contractors, subcontractors, and tradespeople involved in construction projects. It’s also recommended for property owners and developers to protect their investments.
Shielded offers customisable construction insurance policies to meet the specific needs of your project. Whether you're working on a small renovation or a large-scale construction site, we can tailor coverage to include contract works, public liability, plant and equipment, and more.
Annual construction insurance covers multiple projects over the course of a year, making it ideal for contractors with ongoing work. Single-project insurance, on the other hand, is designed for one specific project, providing coverage only for the duration of that project.
Yes, Shielded offers insurance solutions for both residential and commercial construction projects. Our policies can be customised to meet the distinct needs of each type of project, from small home renovations to large commercial developments.
Tradesman's insurance is a type of construction insurance tailored specifically for tradespeople. It typically includes public liability, tool and equipment cover, and income protection, ensuring that tradespeople are fully covered while on the job.
Yes, subcontractors should have construction insurance to cover their specific responsibilities on a project. This includes public liability and coverage for tools and equipment, protecting against potential risks and liabilities while working on-site.
Construction insurance covers the project during the build, protecting against risks like theft, fire, or storm damage. Builder's warranty insurance, on the other hand, provides coverage after the project is completed, protecting homeowners against defects or incomplete work.
Yes, construction insurance can include coverage for project delays caused by insured events such as weather damage or theft. This helps mitigate financial losses and keeps your project on track.
