Builders Insurance Information
As a builder or a contractor, your main priorities in regards to insurance is going to be to ensure you have your public and employment liabilities insurance sorted. Other than that there may well be a few other insurances that you will require, but each builder and contractor are different in size and in how they operate. What we recommend is to give our offices a call and speak to a qualified insurance specialist.
We will be able to ask you the right questions about your operation and assess your risk according to scale and without assumption. Something you are not going to get by using an online provider which could see you out of pocket should you not be covered appropriately.
We will assess your risk and then approach our pool of insurers and cherry pick the very best options for you, this way you end up with the very cheapest rate and high-quality cover.
