ONE POLICY. MULTIPLE COVERS FOR BUILDERS.

Package Insurance Designed Around the Builder’s Day-to-Day Risks

What Can a Builders’ Combined Policy Include?

Key sections can be mixed and matched to reflect how your building business actually operates.

  • Optional: Professional Indemnity – where you provide design or specification advice (subject to underwriting).

Works, Plant & Property


  • Contract Works / Contractors All Risks – the building project itself.
  • Own Plant & Machinery – diggers, access equipment, small plant.
  • Hired-In Plant – plant hired from rental companies (with protection for hire charges).
  • Tools & Equipment – portable tools and site equipment.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

+ -

What is a builders’ combined / package insurance policy?

It’s a single policy designed for builders and small construction firms that combines public liability, employers’ liability, contract works, tools, plant and other key covers into one package, often with one premium and renewal date.

+ -

Is a builders’ package policy cheaper than separate covers?

In many cases, yes. Insurers like the simplicity of a package policy and may offer more competitive terms than if each section was arranged separately. It can also reduce admin and the risk of gaps between policies.

+ -

Can I still tailor the cover to my building business?

Yes. Sections and limits can be adjusted to reflect your work, whether you focus on domestic refurbishments, small developments or light commercial projects. Optional extras can be added where needed.

+ -

What information do insurers need to quote a package policy?

Typically: details of your trade and activities, annual turnover, wage roll, split between residential/commercial work, typical contract values, use of subcontractors, height/depth exposures and your recent claims history.

+ -

Can I move my existing separate policies into one package?

Yes. At renewal (or mid-term in some cases) we can look at consolidating your liability, contract works, tools, plant and other covers into a single builders’ combined policy, making sure there are no gaps in the process.
