Construction cover that’s bang-on for home builds.

Contract Works insurance for homes being built or renovated.

Who Contract Works insurance is for.

We cover homeowners and builders taking on a residential new build or renovation project.

Why get Contract Works cover?

Brand new home.

If you’re building new, home insurance won’t cover your castle until it’s finished. Contract Works fills the gap so your home build and materials are protected while your home takes shape.

Renovation rescue.

Living through the noise and dust? Contract Works helps protect the work and materials while life goes on around it.

Empty reno. No problemo

No one home. No home insurance yet. Still plenty to protect. Contract Works insurance covers the renovation even if no-one’s in the house or it isn't finished yet.

Questions? We got you.

Builds don’t always run like clockwork. Weather, tradies, or materials can blow out the timeline. Talk things through with your builder and pick a cover length that gives you a buffer. If it runs over, no stress. Just give us a call and we’ll extend it.

Alterations? Already have home insurance with us? You may need Contract Works cover. Give us a call on 0800 80 24 24 to discuss your options. Whatever your project, we've got your back.
