Full Protection with Contract Works Insurance
You have to make sure that you’re fully protected for the type of build you’re undertaking. Contract Works insurance is a policy that is sometimes overlooked but can offer you the appropriate safeguard for your project. Having the right policy in place gives you and your co-workers peace of mind that should the worst happen, you have adequate cover in place to protect those involved.

Whether you need contract works insuracen, liability insurance or a project based contractors all risk insurance policy, we can help. With a solid focus on the construction industry, our team have dealt with a wide range of scenarios, different sized projects and some complicated situations. So whatever your needs, you can feel comfortable that we have the right contract works insurance cover for you.
GETTING THE RIGHT CONTRACT WORKS INSURANCE COVER
Why do you need Contract Works Insurance?
The first thing to ask yourself, when taking on a refurbishment, new build or development, is “What insurance policy do I need to fully protect my project?”. Some contractors believe that a liability policy will cover them for any problems that may occur. But this is usually not the case. While liability insurance may be adequate for a small, non-structural, refurbishment or any type of internal refurbishment, it won’t cover you for every aspect of your build or development. For instance, if your build extends the area of the property outside the original dimensions, such as a rear extension or a loft conversion, a liability policy won’t cover those new structures. So, if damage occurs to those new parts of your build, through fire, flood or perhaps vandalism, a liability policy would leave you to finance any repairs yourself. We’ll work with you, every step of the way, to make sure your investment is fully protected for the life of your project, and beyond.
What else do you need to know?
Often, property developers are advised by their lenders to obtain a Contract Works policy. The lenders see it as necessary to safeguard their investment in your building project. They want know you’re protected in case your builder’s insurance fails. This aspect of the insurance is known as a JCT 5.4b, or Joint Contracts Tribunal policy. It’s a contract between the client or developer and the building contractor. If the builder’s policy is invalidated, perhaps because of defaulting on payments or even going into administration, it means yourself, or your client, are still protected in the case of a claim. Without it, you could be potentially liable for hundreds of thousands of pounds. Which is why we advise a Contract Works policy, where appropriate, for many of our construction clients. Because we’ve been brokering construction insurance for a long time, we know the questions to ask you about your build.
