Companies involved in erection or as the principal in construction projects can insure themselves against potential hazards and their financial risks during projects.
Quick and simple claims processing
Individually tailored to your needs
Comprehensive professional advice
"Our (project business) customers need individual, constructive and comprehensive insurance cover; based on our many years of expertise, coupled with short decision-making processes, we offer the solutions in question."
Mirjam Angehrn, Senior Underwriter Engineering Switzerland
The benefits we offer you
When designing the best possible construction and erection insurance, two things are paramount. Comprehensive basic cover for you, your employees and your company, and flexible supplementary policies that can be tailored to your business needs.
For construction projects, construction insurance, combining construction all-risk and builder's liability insurance, also offers financial protection for all the parties involved in the building project.
