Construction insurance
Protect your business against costly accidents and other potential losses.
Our comprehensive insurance can be customized for your construction business, but a typical policy includes the following coverages:
- Commercial general liability insurance covers your business against claims or lawsuits from third parties who have suffered bodily injury, property damage or other harm.
- Equipment breakdown insurance covers the repair or replacement of your equipment and tools if they suddenly and accidentally break down on the insured premises.
- Builder's risk insurance covers the risk of loss or deterioration in buildings under construction (including the value of assets, risk of collapse and theft or vandalism).
- Commercial vehicle insurance covers your commercial vehicle (such as a truck, delivery van, SUV or tool trailer) and the risks associated with its use.

A letter of guarantee is a commitment from a financial institution to ensure that your business partner will still get paid in the event that your business is unable to pay them. It might be required if you win a construction bid, for example. The amount and terms are based on the transaction requirements and the money is paid out at the beneficiary's request.
We can provide letters of guarantee upon request. Contact your account manager for more information.
