Specialist Protection for Builders, Contractors & Civil Operators

Civil and construction projects face unique, highrisk environments—heavy machinery, complex worksites, strict timelines and contract obligations. At CIB, we provide tailored insurance solutions designed to protect your people, your equipment, and your projects from start to finish.

Why Civil & Construction Insurance Matters

Construction and engineering work involves exposures such as material damage, onsite accidents, theft of equipment, and liability arising from design or workmanship. Generic business insurance often fails to cover these specialised risks, leaving contractors exposed or in breach of contract requirements. Civil construction, in particular, involves highrisk activities like earthmoving, excavation, trenching, utilities installation, and road or bridge works—many of which are excluded unless declared under a specialised policy.

Key Insurance Covers for Civil & Construction Clients

‍Contract Works Insurance‍

Protects your project against accidental physical damage—fire, storm, theft, vandalism, or onsite incidents—covering works in progress, materials onsite, in transit, or temporarily stored.

Public & Products Liability‍

Covers thirdparty injury or property damage arising from your construction activities, machinery use, or subcontractor actions. Critical for meeting contractual obligations and protecting your business from claims.

Mobile Plant & Equipment Insurance‍

Covers excavators, loaders, cranes, tip trucks, and other machinery against theft, breakdown, rollover, or accidental damage—whether owned, hiredin, or on wet hire.

Professional Indemnity (Design & Construct)‍

Protects contractors who provide design input, engineering advice, or other professional services—covering errors, omissions and designrelated liabilities.

Workers Compensation‍

Mandatory protection for employee injuries, ensuring compliance with Victorian regulations.

Tools, Trailers & Equipment Cover‍

For portable tools, generators, small trailers, and measuring or laser equipment—covering theft, damage, and loss onsite or in transit.

Management Liability‍
