Construction All Risk insurance
Construction sites are, by nature, high-risk areas. Developers and contractors face a myriad of risks that can financially cripple a project, or even the companies involved. Trust an experienced broker to help get the cover you need, and be there when you need us most.
When problems arise in construction projects, they can bring negative knock-on effects and additional liabilities. Sub-contracting of various specialised works can create other contractual problems, liability claims and court proceedings.
In this situation, comprehensive cover from a trusted broker can make all the difference.
