Our annual Contractors All Risks policy insures contractors for all works they undertake. The policy can cover anyone from a small general builder or specialist contractor to a large commercial house builder or property developer. It covers contracts undertaken by the contractor up to the limit chosen by them and stated in the policy schedule.
Contractors All Risks insurance offers cover for your materials, equipment, tools and building works, as well as protection for third-party injury or damage claims by those you work with.
Focus areas
Chubb’s Contractors All Risks insurance covers you for moments and issues like these:
Theft of plant and equipment
Other policies might not cover theft or damage if equipment is not kept in certain conditions, i.e stored in locked facilities/compound. But Chubb’s policy doesn’t demand security warranties, so you’ll be covered if something is stolen, even if it’s in transit or being stored off site.
Construction issues
You’re covered if, for example, a sub-contractor doesn’t follow agreed working procedures, leading to equipment failure that damages a structure being worked on.
Our policy also offers broad cover and a wide appetite for trade, size and complexity of risk and includes the following sections of cover:
Contract works and materials
Plant owned
Plant hired
Continuing hire charges
Personal effects
Other property
