Contract Works Insurance

Contract Works insurance is an insurance policy designed specifically to protect all the construction materials against loss or damage throughout the construction period. This part of a standard policy covers you for (but not limited to); Fire, Burglary, Malicious Damage, Flood, Storm and Tempest, etc. However being a client of SHC’s we recognise you require additional covers. Please note not all Contract Works policies are the same. Here is just a small example of the additional benefits you receive for no extra cost by buying from SHC:

• Broader business description to allow a diverse range of activities
• Extensive additional benefits at no cost (eg, removal of debris)
• Tools cover anywhere in Australia up to $20,000, discounts if less cover required
• Policy complies with all standard building contracts
• Existing property cover available
• No limitation on vibration or underpinning risks
• Liability protection on completed work
• Coverage of completed dwellings pending strata or handover
• Flexible payment options

Liability Insurance

This section of the policy provides protection for you against any financial loss or exposure to third party property damage and/or third-party bodily injury.

This is an extremely important policy, for if damages are awarded by the court, the judgment can easily strip you of all your assets.
