Construction cover for builds.

Contract Works insurance for your business. From first-dig to final fitting.

Who Contract Works insurance is for.

We cover builders, contractors, and business owners managing commercial or residential new builds or renovations.

When the project needs cover.

Brand new build.

Building from scratch? This cover kicks in from day one until the project’s finished. Contract Works protects your build and materials while the project takes shape. 

Reno or refit.

From small renovations to major commercial fit-outs, Contract Works protects the project and the materials while work’s in progress.

Empty building reno.

While work's still underway, Contract Works can cover both the building and the renovation against mishaps or loss during construction.

This information is intended as a guide only. Exclusions and limitations apply. Talk to us about these or refer to the full policy wording.

Making insurance simple.

Experts on hand.

Our NZ business insurance specialists can help with cover, claims, payments and more. We’re here 8am to 6pm Monday to Friday (excluding public holidays).

No time to waste? We’ll call you.

Book a callback with our biz experts and we’ll get your insurance-y stuff sorted. On your time. 

Right policy for the job.

Doing a one-off build? Go with a single project policy. Got jobs lined up all year? An annual policy might be the better fit to cover them all. Call us for a quote.

Questions? We got you.

Timelines blow out. It happens. Weather, trade delays, or tricky supply chains can push things out. Pick a cover length with some wiggle room. If things run over, we can help extend your cover. Just give us a bell on 0800 80 24 24.
