Build a Solid Construction Insurance Policy
Construction companies and trade contractors are at a high risk of injury and property damage claims in their business. That’s why a solid insurance policy can take you from one job site to another with confidence.
Construction Insurance in Canada
Construction insurance is a secure and solid plan to ensure accidents will be covered from project start to finish. Injury and property damage risk is an expensive recovery at construction job sites without the proper insurance coverage for your business. Whether you are a window cleaner or construction contractor, we have a unique insurance plan that will give you peace of mind on the job and after hours.
What is Covered Under a Construction Insurance Policy?
There are several coverage options that your insurer typically offers:
Commercial Liability (CGL) Insurance:
Also known as general liability insurance, CGL insurance covers third-party bodily injury and property damage. It typically covers medical, repair/replacement, and legal expenses.
Builder’s Risk Insurance:
Builder’s risk protects you for the entire project and covers the building, materials and losses from property damage from perils, such as fire, vandalism, and theft.
Commercial Property Insurance:
Business contents insurance, or commercial property insurance, secures your business premises and contents from certain natural disasters, including fire, theft, and vandalism.
Tools and Equipment Insurance:
Construction tools and equipment are pricey and if stolen or damaged, could turn your business upside down financially. This type of insurance may reimburse repairs or replacement tools and equipment due to theft, fire, severe weather, and other incidents.
Add-Ons
Pollution Liability Insurance:
Pollution liability insurance guards your business against environmental damage, third-party liability and property damage. Protection could also pay for fines, cleanup costs, and assessments.
Commercial Auto Insurance:
If you have vehicles you use for your construction business or as a trade contractor, you will want a commercial auto insurance policy. Claims can include property damage or third-party bodily injury involving company vehicles.
