CONTRACTOR INSURANCE

Clear scope, realistic risk coverage, and support when damage or delays affect a project. Built for construction realities, not paperwork assumptions.

The real problem with contractor insurance

Contractor losses rarely happen in isolation.
They happen mid-project when timelines, responsibilities, and costs are already under pressure.

Common problems contractors face:

  • Claims questioned due to unclear project scope or stages

  • Losses reduced because values weren’t updated as work progressed

  • Delays caused by incomplete site records or approvals

  • Confusion over whether damage falls under CAR, EAR, or liability

The real stress begins when work stops and costs continue.

Why most people get this wrong

Contractor insurance is often bought to satisfy contract clauses.
That approach creates gaps.

  • Declaring static project values for dynamic work

  • Assuming CAR/EAR covers all site-related losses

  • Ignoring testing, commissioning, or maintenance periods

  • Not aligning coverage with subcontractor responsibilities

These issues surface only when damage or delays occur.

How we handle your contractor insurance

  1. Understand project scope, duration, and phases

  2. Align coverage with actual construction or erection risk

  3. Explain what is covered during execution and testing

  4. Review values and extensions as the project progresses

  5. Support documentation and coordination during claims

The focus is project continuity and defensible claims, not just policy issuance.

What we help you with

  • Structuring CAR / EAR cover for your project

  • Clarifying coverage during construction and testing

  • Reviewing sum insured and extensions

  • Renewal or endorsement planning for project changes

  • Claim support when site losses occur

Everything is aligned to how contractor claims are assessed on site.

Is this right for you?

This is for you if…

  • You are executing construction or erection projects

  • Your contracts require CAR or EAR coverage

  • You want clarity before losses disrupt timelines

  • You need support when site incidents occur

This is not for you if…

  • You expect insurance to cover delays automatically

  • You don’t want to update project values or scope

  • You assume subcontractor risks are always covered

Get clarity before making a decision

Contractor insurance works best when project scope and risk are updated honestly.
Getting this right early avoids disputes when work is interrupted.

Contractor insurance – common questions

What is the difference between CAR and EAR?

CAR applies to construction projects, while EAR applies to erection and installation risks.

Not by default. Delay coverage requires specific extensions.

Coverage depends on policy terms and how responsibilities are defined.

Yes. Outdated values can reduce claim settlements.

Insurance coverage is subject to policy terms, conditions, exclusions, project scope, declared values, extensions, and underwriting guidelines of the insurer.
