Modern construction sites require a sturdy risk management framework to protect your project from the unique complexities of the industry.
The truth is, when you’re a builder or contractor focused on the job at hand, it’s hard to prioritise the unforeseen. However, with Contract Works Insurance, you can rest assured that your project is in good hands should the worst happen.
At CIG insurance, we understand the challenges of the construction industry and work with you to understand your individual risks, so we can find you insurance cover that is tailored to you and your project’s needs.
So, when you need to focus on your contract work project without worrying about the factors you can’t control, that’s what we’re here for.
Contract works insurance (also known as construction works insurance) is a critical protection for builders and contractors against the financial consequences of accidental damage, loss, or destruction to your project during the construction stage.
This coverage extends to restoration or rebuilding costs if an incident does occur, including the materials required to bring your project to life.
This insurance can be approached in two different ways depending on your project structure:
CIG Insurance supports you in managing your liability when it comes to your construction projects, ensuring your assets and your contractual obligations are protected at every stage of the process.
A typical policy includes:
While comprehensive, contract works insurance has standard exclusions to be aware of. We can help you navigate what is not covered, so you know where your coverage gaps are. These typically include:
To fully protect your construction project, we recommend complementing contract works insurance with connected coverages to build a comprehensive risk framework:
Protects you against any claims of negligence, errors, or omissions relating to your advice or professional services.
Unlike contract works insurance, industrial special risks insurance covers any physical loss or damage to your onsite materials and structures once your project is completed or operational, rather than protection during the active building phase.
Protection for directors, officers and senior management facing governance, employment practices or regulatory exposures.
Coverage against cyber attacks, including data breaches, ransomware attacks, and digital extortion.
