Construction insurance is an essential part of your insurance package
If you are in the building industry, construction insurance or contract works insurance is a vital part of your insurance. Contract works insurance protects you from losses during a building project and can prevent issues that may force your business to leave the job or even close down.
Alongside construction insurance, Bridges Insurance Services recommends that builders also consider:
- Commercial vehicle insurance including heavy vehicle insurance to protect work vehicles from breakdown or theft
- All relevant liability insurance for tradespeople including Licensed Building Practitioners and Defective Workmanship
- Business insurance
Our team can also advise you on personal insurance including home and contents insurance and car insurance to protect your personal items, when your building project is complete.
House building insurance cover can be arranged per project or annually. If you are in the construction industry and are undertaking a number of projects each year, annual cover may be more practical. Annual policies usually cover all contracts during the term of the policy which are up to a specified value. Projects over the agreed value will need to be insured separately.
The team of experienced Waikato-based insurance brokers at Bridges Insurance Services can help you arrange the policy that best suits your needs. If you are a small building company or sole trader, talk to our team about specialist trades insurance that covers everything including public liability insurance, vehicle cover and more all in one easy to manage package.

For most policies, we are remunerated by the insurer when you take out cover arranged by us. This includes renewals and changes you make throughout the year.
The remuneration we receive is a percentage of the company premium & company natural disaster premium you are charged. All other levies, Government charges and taxes are collected without us earning income on these.
In addition, to enable us to provide you with a high level of service we may also apply an Administration Charge which will be shown on your invoice.
When you enter into a contract of insurance you have a legal duty to disclose to the insurer all facts that are material to the risk.
