About Contract Works Insurance
This insurance is sometimes referred to as “Construction All Risks Insurance”. It is a type of insurance cover that can safeguard a builder from a broad range of events or a principle contractor on a large construction site.
Like we previously mentioned, it is, in many ways, quite similar to Public Liability Insurance, in addition to which it has some major benefits.
Public Liability provides insurance only for property damage or personal injury caused due to negligence, whereas Contract Works also covers a range of risks that are beyond your control.
Here are some of the risks covered.
- Property Damage or Personal Injury to other persons
- Loss or damage to your project due to fire, storm, cyclone and a range of unforeseen risks
- Loss or damage to materials from the work site
Depending on which insurer you are buying the insurance from, some more additional risks may be covered. For more in-detail information, please talk to SD Insurance Brokers about your Contracts work insurance needs on 07 40330254 or fill in the Online Quote today!
Who needs Contract Works Insurance?
Builders are major insurers for this type of Insurance on principle contractors on large construction sites. This is why SD Insurance Brokers refer to this as Builders Contract Works Insurance.
But besides builders, anyone in the building and construction industry should consider this insurance, especially if they are planning to run their own project or are the principle contractor for a major project. Most government contracts now require the principal contractor to have this policy to get onto the job site.
These projects include everything from renovations and alterations through to completely new house or building construction of a commercial nature.
If you are a subcontractor, you might not really require this type of insurance unless you are running your own side projects or the principle contractor with subbies under you.
Don’t be in doubt whether you may or may not benefit from this form of insurance – we sincerely suggest that you talk to one of our experts right away. Call SD Insurance Brokers or complete the Online Quote Request and one of our experts will get back to you.

Contract Work Insurance Policy Types
There are two main types of Contract Work Insurance that are available.
The first is an Annual Policy that covers all the construction projects you might undertake in an annual year. The second type covers a Single Project.
Besides these two main types, every insurance company has their own type of policy cover, each of which is slightly different. Some might include tool cover in their Contract Work Policy. Among those that do, some will only offer tool cover whilst onsite, and the others offer tool cover for both on-site and off-site situations.
You will be appraised of the nitty-gritties of such policies when you choose SD Insurance Brokers as your trusted brokers. We’ll make sure you’re getting the appropriate cover for all your needs.
