Business insurance
Insurance for Demolition Contractors
Demolition carries some of the heaviest risk in construction: structural collapse, flying debris, damage to neighbouring property and underground services all sit on your shoulders. Contractors generally carry substantial public liability cover, plant and equipment insurance for the machines, and specific cover for asbestos and hazardous work where relevant. With a crew on site, workers' compensation is required.
Premiums in this trade are commonly around $2,500 a year, reflecting the risk, and many policies renew near 30 June. Cockatoo helps you match to a broker who understands demolition and heavy-plant exposure.
Common questions
Demolition Contractors — insurance questions
What insurance do demolition contractors need?
High-limit public liability is essential given the risk to neighbouring property and the public, alongside plant and equipment cover and workers' compensation for crew. Asbestos work needs cover that reflects it. Cockatoo helps you find a broker who understands the trade.
Why are demolition premiums higher than other trades?
The risk of collapse, debris, service strikes and hazardous material means insurers price demolition carefully, with premiums often near $2,500. Strong safety records and the right licences help. Cockatoo helps you compare options at renewal, commonly around 30 June.
