Civil Contractors Insurance – Protecting Your Projects with Confidence

Protect Your Civil Contracting Business with Tailored Insurance Solutions

Civil construction is the backbone of Australia’s growth—delivering roads, bridges, pipelines, subdivisions, airports, rail upgrades and more. But behind every successful project is a robust insurance framework that protects contractors from machinery damage, public liability claims, site accidents, and project delays.

At Wideland Insurance Brokers, we specialise in Civil Contractors Insurance, offering tailored, flexible and competitively priced solutions for construction firms of all sizes—from small operators to large-scale Tier 1 subcontractors.

✅ Who Needs Civil Contractors Insurance?

If your business is involved in infrastructure, earthworks, or site development, you likely face multiple risk exposures daily. Our clients include:

  • Earthmoving and excavation contractors

  • Trenching, directional drilling, and boring operators

  • Civil electricians and traffic signal installers

  • Pipelayers and underground utility contractors

  • Bridge and road builders

  • Subdivision developers

  • Drainage and stormwater contractors

  • Site prep, demolition, and land clearing teams

Whether you’re working on government tenders, commercial developments, or residential subdivisions, the risks are real—so your cover should be too.

🔒 What Does Civil Contractors Insurance Cover?

Our comprehensive packages combine multiple insurance classes into one streamlined solution:

1. Public & Products Liability Insurance

Cover for injury or damage to third parties due to site activities, machinery use, or subcontractors. $10M, $20M, and $50M limits available.

2. Mobile Plant & Equipment Insurance

Cover for excavators, graders, loaders, tip trucks, cranes, compactors, trenchers, and skid steers. Includes theft, rollover, and wet hire liability.

3. Contract Works Insurance

Protection during construction for project sites, temporary works, and partially completed builds. Covers fire, storm, vandalism, and accidental damage.

4. Workers Compensation

State-based mandatory cover for employee injuries or illnesses. We coordinate setup or renewal in QLD, NSW, VIC, SA, WA and beyond.

5. Tool, Trailer & Equipment Insurance

Portable tools, generators, small trailers, laser levels and more—covered on-site or in transit.

6. Professional Indemnity (Design & Construct)

Covers you if your business retains any design responsibility or provides engineering advice—critical for D&C contracts.

7. Management Liability Insurance

Protects directors, key personnel and the business entity from regulatory claims, employee disputes, fines and penalties.

8. Business Interruption Cover

Replace lost revenue or profit if an insured event delays operations or halts work on site.
