How Much Does Insurance for Construction Companies Cost?

The cost of insurance for construction companies ranges from £500 to £50,000+ per year.

What is The Construction Company Insurance Process?

The construction insurance coverage process begins with a detailed consultation to assess the construction company, trade activities, project types, workforce structure, operational risks, and insurance requirements. Insurance for Construction Companies then reviews the business activities, plant usage, subcontractor arrangements, contract responsibilities, and compliance obligations associated with the company.

Following the assessment, suitable insurance policies are sourced and structured based on the level of operational risk, project profile, required liability limits, and contractual obligations. This may include liability insurance, contractors all risks cover, plant insurance, professional indemnity policies, fleet cover, and management liability protection.

Policy documentation is then prepared outlining the scope of cover, policy limits, exclusions, excess levels, renewal schedules, and compliance considerations. Ongoing support can also be provided for claims handling, renewals, policy adjustments, contractor growth, and project-specific insurance requirements.
