Construction Insurance
Navigating safety, compliance, and material costs makes managing job sites challenging enough without the added exposure of unexpected losses. At Mowen Insurance Brokers, we supply tailored risk protection plans for build firms, independent trades, and project managers across Ontario. From ground-up developments to structural renovations, our specialized coverage options buffer your operations from financial setbacks caused by job-site mishaps, equipment loss, or legal disputes.
Our experienced team works with top-tier Canadian insurance underwriters to analyze your operational footprint, workforce structure, and ongoing contracts. We assemble balanced insurance strategies that safeguard your property, help you meet municipal guidelines, and satisfy project owner requirements—allowing you to concentrate on delivering projects on schedule.
Core Protections for Builders & Job Sites
Construction work involves dynamic risks that static commercial policies rarely address. We configure multi-layered construction insurance programs tailored to your specific trade and project scale:
- Site Liability Coverage: Protects your firm against financial liabilities if third parties sustain bodily injuries or experience property damage near your active job sites.
- Course-of-Construction Policies: Shields materials, uninstalled fixtures, and ongoing structural builds from unexpected losses caused by fire, windstorms, vandalism, or water incidents.
- Mobile Equipment & Tool Coverages: Provides financial protection for specialized machinery, rented power tools, and transport trailers whether parked on-site, in storage, or moving between jobs.
- Surety & Performance Bonds: Supplies the necessary bid bonds and completion guarantees required to secure municipal tenders and high-value private contracts.
- Environmental Hazard Protections: Offsets cleanup costs, regulatory fines, and legal claims tied to accidental fuel leaks, chemical releases, or pollution events during excavation.
- Single-Project Wrap-Up Plans: Consolidates legal protection for project owners, primary contractors, sub-trades, and site engineers under one cohesive policy.
