Working on Larger Construction Projects?

If your work forms part of larger construction or infrastructure projects, you may need broader cover. See our construction insurance solutions for civil engineering, infrastructure and specialist contractors.

Construction and Supply Chain Risk

Construction projects rely on materials, logistics and supply chains. Delays in delivery or supplier issues can impact project timelines.

Demolition Contractor Insurance Cost

Pricing depends on demolition method, height, plant, waste, asbestos exposure, claims history and contract values.

  • Structural exposure is central.
  • Pollution and waste handling change appetite.
  • Neighbouring property risk matters.
  • Plant and subcontractors need clear disclosure.

Example Construction & Infrastructure Claims

Claims examples show why large construction and engineering programmes need specialist structuring around liability, contract works, plant and project delay severity.

Demolition vibration or collapse damages adjoining property.

Pollution or waste claim

Waste handling or contamination creates clean-up costs.

Construction & Engineering Insurance FAQs

Do demolition contractors need specialist construction insurance?

Yes. Demolition can involve higher liability, pollution, plant and structural risk than many standard contractor trades.

Can demolition work be covered under a standard contractor policy?
