Construction Insurance

The construction business has its own range of risks. Accidents and unexpected project disruptions can seriously impact your timelines, which can result in significant financial loss for your business as a whole.

The success of any construction project is dependent on how project risks are managed. There are a number of ways that risks can be managed, for example through considered business and construction practices and through careful preparation and follow through on project contract documents. Despite how well you plan, there may be certain risks that cannot be avoided. This is where Construction Insurances comes in.

Construction Insurance Knowledge

Effectively protecting businesses in this highly regulated landscape means ensuring that insurances provide the right covers and responses to fulfil regulatory requirements. At PSC Insurance Brokers, we help our clients navigate this landscape including Contract reviews and interacting with third parties such as credit providers, legal advisors and sub-contractors.

Construction insurance is necessary for every business in the industry, and every project that you work on. In some cases, it is a requirement to have specific cover in place in order to begin a project.   

Construction Insurance is also essential for owner builders carrying out construction work on their own property.  In this case, it is not generally compulsory, but it can ensure you do not face severe financial consequences in the event that something goes wrong during the building process.
