From the moment you exchange contracts, you’re responsible for your plot and anyone on site. Standard home insurance won’t cover new‑build or self‑build projects, leaving you exposed to costly risks.
Why You Need Specialist Site Insurance
Standard home insurance typically does not cover new build or self-build projects. Site insurance covers:
✅ Loss or damage to tools, materials, and property
✅ Public & Employer’s liability for accidents or injuries on-site
✅ Protection against construction quality issues.
A structural warranty should always be arranged before you start on site (usually when you arrange your site insurance). This is because, for a structural warranty to be issued on completion, your project must be signed off by an approved inspector for the insurer’s required technical inspections. You should always opt for an ‘A’ rated insurer.
