Contract Works and Liability Insurance is a type of insurance policy that is designed to protect construction projects and the parties involved in them against risks associated with the construction works. In Australia, this type of insurance is often referred to as Construction All Risk (CAR) insurance.
Contract Works insurance covers the physical loss or damage to a construction project during the course of its construction. This includes loss or damage to the works, materials, tools, plant and equipment, and other related items. It may also cover consequential losses resulting from the physical loss or damage to the works.
Liability insurance covers the liability of the insured for third-party bodily injury or property damage that arises out of the construction project. This can include liability arising from negligence, errors, or omissions in the construction work.
Trades Insurance is designed for businesses that provide skilled services or manual labour, such as carpenters, electricians, plumbers, and other tradespeople. It is also sometimes called contractor’s insurance. Trades Insurance typically includes a range of different types of coverage, which may vary depending on the specific policy and the needs of the business.
Some common types of coverage that may be included in a Trades Insurance policy are:
This covers the cost of damages or injuries that a business may be held liable for, such as property damage or personal injury claims made by third parties.
This covers the cost of damages or injuries that a business may be held liable for, such as property damage or personal injury claims made by third parties.
This provides coverage for the cost of damages or injuries that may occur to employees while they are working for the business.
This provides coverage for loss or damage to the tools and equipment used by the business.
This covers the cost of damages or losses that may occur as a result of professional negligence or errors made by the business.
Business package insurance is designed to provide a comprehensive package of coverages for businesses. It combines several different types of coverage into one policy, simplifying the insurance buying and management processes. This can be an important investment for businesses of all sizes, as it can provide protection against a range of risks and liabilities that may arise in the course of their operations.
These policies typically include several core coverages (which vary depending on a business’ specific needs) including:
This provides coverage for the physical assets of the business, such as buildings, equipment, and inventory.
This covers the cost of damages or injuries that the business may be held liable for, such as property damage or personal injury claims made by third parties.
This provides coverage for lost income or other expenses that may arise if the business is unable to operate due to a covered event, such as a fire or natural disaster.
This provides coverage for losses due to theft or other criminal acts committed against the business.
This covers the cost of damages or losses that may occur as a result of professional negligence or errors made by the business.
Depending on the policy, additional coverage options may be available, such as cyber liability insurance, directors and officers liability insurance, or employment practices liability insurance.
Worried about your liability on your developments?
Imagine being able to receive a 10 year structural defects cover. Now you can!
If you are a developer who opts for Latent Defect Insurance, you will have the peace of mind knowing your project and your clients are protected against any structural defects for a full 10 years after it is completed. This means that if any defects are discovered during this period, the insurance will cover the cost of repairs or damages, saving you from a potential financial burden.
It is only possible to obtain LDI before construction has begun; therefore, it is essential to contact us as soon as possible
The tables below explain the differences between the 2% Strata Bond and LDI.
Contract Works & Liability differs from just Public Liability insurance in that it covers “Material Damage” risks that occur on the construction site (unexpected events that cause damage to materials and products used in your building projects).
To make a good comparison, it’s like the difference between Comprehensive Insurance and Third Party Insurance on your car – it’s more expensive but has more well-rounded coverage.
Contract Works insurance is essential for builders and tradespeople, serving as a safeguard, covering potential losses or damages to materials and work. Failing to have this type of insurance can expose you to various risks, including inconvenience, time delays, disputes, and potential financial loss in the event of material damage or theft. You can refer to the NSW Fair Trading website for more information.
Additionally, financiers may request a copy of the Builder’s Contract Works & Liability insurance and may require to be named on the policy. It may also be a contractual requirement to provide a copy of your insurance policy to your clients.
