Services
Public Liability Insurance
This insurance protects builders and tradespeople against financial claims arising from property damage or personal injury caused to third parties through negligence. Coverage applies to incidents occurring during business activities, including worksite operations and client property visits. Policies help mitigate potentially catastrophic financial losses from major claims involving serious injury or structural damage.
Income Protection Insurance
Provides financial security by replacing up to 75% of income when tradespeople cannot work due to illness or injury. Covers self-employed individuals lacking access to workers' compensation or sick leave benefits. Policies ensure ongoing financial stability during recovery periods and help maintain business continuity for affected tradespeople.
Tool Insurance
Covers replacement costs for professional tools and equipment lost, stolen, or damaged through specified events including theft, fire, and vehicle accidents. Policies vary in coverage parameters requiring careful comparison to ensure appropriate protection for valuable trade-specific equipment essential to daily operations.
Life Insurance
Provides financial protection for dependents through lump sum payments upon the policyholder's death. Helps settle outstanding debts and provides financial security for families of tradespeople. Combined with TPD and trauma insurance, forms a comprehensive personal risk management strategy for construction professionals.
Builders Warranty Insurance
Mandatory coverage for residential construction projects in some Australian jurisdictions. Protects homeowners against defective or incomplete workmanship and associated financial losses. Ensures financial recourse for property owners when builders fail to meet contractual obligations or licensing requirements.
