Wherever possible, we recommend that a client’s construction contract is structured so that the client is responsible for arranging insurance protection. This is usually referred to as ’employer’, ‘owner’ or ‘principal’ controlled insurance. Under an employer-controlled programme, the employer organises insurance for construction in the joint names of him or herself, the financier, the contractor and sub-contractors working on the project.
Tender documents will exclude a requirement for insurance and identify the extent of the employer provided policies, as well as contractors’ continuing responsibilities.
A range of cover is available. Typically we will insure: all risks of loss or damage to works including an element of damage caused by defective design; all risks of loss or damage to unfixed materials; public and products liability; loss of income due to delays; non-negligent damage to adjoining and surrounding properties; and cover for latent defects in structural elements of the building.
And we’re always available for you by telephone or email whenever and wherever you need us.

"By controlling the insurance, an employer should benefit from broader cover, reduced costs and administration overheads, improved cash flow and control of losses which will lead to greater peace-of-mind"
