FMG’s Contract Works policy insures work being done by a contractor when building an extension, new building, or renovating your home.
This includes cover for the accidental loss, damage, or destruction of materials on the site, as well as materials supplied free of charge by the property owner to the contractor, to be used for the works.
FMG will cover the demolition and removal of damaged materials and debris on site after a loss, including shoring up or supporting undamaged areas on site to enable the works to be restored or replaced.
If there is an increase in reconstruction costs after a loss, this policy provides cover for increased costs to allow the works to be completed in a reasonable time.
