Cover we can arrange

Construction risks insurance

Construction risks insurance for owner builders provides cover for construction work from loss or damage during the construction period and includes materials, tools, plant and equipment.

It provides cover for legal liability arising from construction work that causes injury or damage to a third party. It also covers products liability (or completed operations liability) which ensures that once you have completed your project and handed over the work, liability for an injury or damage occurring to a third party because of the work is also insured.

Owner builder domestic building insurance

If you choose to sell your home that was built or renovated as an owner builder, it is a legal requirement in Victoria to obtain owner builder domestic building insurance prior to the sale.

This requirement depends on the value of work undertaken, and the number of years since the work was completed.
