Business insurance
Insurance for Shed Suppliers and Installers
Shed work means heavy steel, lifting gear, work at height and slabs being poured on sites with their own hazards. Public liability is essential for injury or property damage on site and is usually required to win commercial and rural contracts. Add contract works cover to protect a kit and partly built shed against storm, theft or damage before handover, tool and equipment cover for your gear, and workers' compensation once you have a crew. With many policies renewing around 30 June, review your cover before the new financial year.
Common questions
Shed Suppliers and Installers — insurance questions
Why does a shed builder need contract works cover?
A steel kit and a half-erected shed are exposed to storms, wind and theft before the job is finished and handed over. Contract works cover protects the value of materials and work in progress so a setback before completion does not land on you.
Is public liability required for rural shed jobs?
Almost always — farmers, businesses and councils expect it before you start, and it covers you for damage or injury during the build. Cockatoo can help match you to a broker who understands construction and rural install risk.
