It may also cover owned or hired-in plant and tools. Contractor\u2019s all risks (CAR) is often required under contract terms and is considered essential for builders, developers and contractors to help protect against the costs of accidental damage during construction. At Brown &amp; Brown, we can help source Contractor\u2019s all risks (CAR) cover based on your specific projects.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Do self-employed tradespeople need construction insurance?&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1759938794177-302328c1-6f89&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]Yes. If you&#8217;re self-employed and work in a trade such as plumbing, bricklaying, carpentry or electrical installation, you\u2019ll likely need public liability insurance to help protect against third-party injury or property damage. Employer\u2019s liability may also be required if you bring in subcontractors. We help self-employed tradespeople find suitable policies that reflect the size and nature of their business.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Is insurance needed for tools and hired-in plant?&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1759938794195-68a11cc8-923c&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]Yes. Construction insurance can include cover for your own tools and equipment as well as plant or machinery you\u2019ve hired. Theft, fire, vandalism or accidental damage can cause major delays and costs if equipment is uninsured. Brown &amp; Brown works with insurers who offer flexible levels of plant and tools cover, so your assets are looked after whether on-site, in storage or in transit.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Can you help with project-specific or joint-names policies?&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1759938794218-7c12178f-e307&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]Absolutely. Many larger projects require joint-names insurance policies where both the contractor and client are listed on the policy. We help arrange project-specific cover to meet these requirements, including contract works insurance, performance bonds and structural warranties. Brown &amp; Brown brokers work closely with all parties to ensure compliance with contract clauses and peace of mind for both developers and clients.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;What is Erection All Risks (EAR) insurance?&#8221;
