Whether you're funding a residential property improvement or a property development in the commercial world, any construction work is a big financial undertaking. Contract Works Insurance is there to ensure the principal’s investment in a construction project is protected. But not all circumstances are covered, so it makes sense to talk to a specialist adviser – like Bonded NZ.
We have extensive knowledge in the construction and engineering industry, and can provide advice on a wide range of insurance solutions for residential, commercial/industrial and infrastructure projects across New Zealand.
What can be covered
Contract Works Insurance can be tailored to cover risks that are specific to your business or trade, including:
- Financial loss due to property damage at the construction site
- Loss of rents or profit if, due to property damage, your project is delayed
- Loss of income and stock deterioration if plant and machinery break down
- Accidental loss or damage to materials on-site
- Theft, vandalism and arson
- Fire, natural disaster and weather damage.
What’s usually not covered
Generally speaking, Contract Works Insurance doesn’t provide cover for:
- Consequential losses due to delays, penalties, liquidated damages or losses discovered when an inventory was undertaken
- Construction plant, equipment and tools
- Faulty design, workmanship or materials
- Existing property (unless specifically included in the policy).
