The Building Blocks of Contractors' All Risk Insurance
Think of property damage coverage as protection for your whole construction site. It protects against accidental damage to the building under construction - with Rhino, this can be up to the value of £250,000. So, if a storm decides to play wrecking ball with your half-built structure, Contractors' All Risks Insurance steps in to cover the repair costs.
Ever had a supplier go belly up, leaving you high and dry with half-finished work? Contract Works Insurance (aka Contractors' All Risks Insurance) addresses just that. It covers the materials and labour costs in case your subcontractors or suppliers fail to deliver. It's like having a construction magician waving away your worries.
Your tools and machinery are the lifeblood of your trade. If they're damaged, lost, or stolen, it can throw your entire project off course. Contractors' All Risks Insurance extends its protective umbrella to cover the repair or replacement costs of your own plant and equipment or hired equipment.
Construction sites are hives of activity, with various contractors, suppliers, and onlookers weaving in and out. A solid addition to Contractors' All Risks Insurance is Public Liability cover. If someone (a third party) gets injured or their property is damaged due to your construction activities, public liability coverage has got you covered. It takes care of legal and compensation costs, ensuring you don't end up in a financial mess.
