Construction Insurance

Obtaining cost effective construction insurance and risk management solutions can be challenging. In recognition of the unique and often complex requirements of construction projects, Aon established our dedicated Aon Construction division.

Comprehensive industry knowledge

Aon’s Construction insurance practice is second to none in New Zealand - both in terms of experience and size. Our construction team is staffed by experienced specialists who understand how insurance relates to construction and your contractual requirements. Solely servicing the construction sector, we provide specialist insurance and risk management solutions for the unique issues faced by owners and principals, contractors, project managers, consultants, engineers and architects.

Aon designs products and services either on an annual or project specific construction insurance programme including;

• Contract works insurance, construction plant insurance, marine insurance and associated loss of revenue coverage;

• Public and products liability insurance, professional indemnity insurance and statutory liability insurance;

• Specialist cover including pollution insurance, directors and officers liability, and surety bonds.

We have experience in international jurisdictions outside of New Zealand and how these specific requirements relate to you.

Leading innovation

Our substantial presence in the construction field, both locally and internationally has enabled Aon to lead product innovation. We have been instrumental in designing solutions where traditional insurance does not respond, including:

• Project professional indemnity insurance solutions that provide "insured v. insured" protection, including liability protection in alliance or collaborative working agreements where a "no liability" regime exists;

• Development of project risk profiles to assist in the understanding and "selling" of risk to insurance markets;

• Policy wordings negotiated with insurers to reflect the construction sector's specific risks and requirements.

Registered Master Builders Association members

Aon are proud to work with the Registered Master Builders Association as their preferred insurance broker. We offer a comprehensive suite of insurance for RMBA members including liability cover, contract works, health insurance and cyber risk insurance.
