Get Building Under Construction Insurance Coverage For Equipment Theft

Building under construction insurance provides coverage for the theft of tools and equipment from your site.  Theft on building sites is very common.  The estimation is that there is theft of between $300 million and $1 billion worth of tools and equipment every year.  Only 25% of this is ever recovered!

What if there is theft of your tools?

It’s a Monday morning and you are ready to take on a busy week on the new building project. Your team is ready and everyone knows what they need to do.  And then you discover you are missing several expensive power tools, dozens of bags of cement, some wheelbarrows and all your ladders. Now what?

• Without insurance?

No building under construction insurance? Then you are facing some significant expenses that you will have to pay for yourself.  As a small contractor it could put you out of work for a while.  For bigger companies, it is going to eat into your profits.
