Planning Approved? Now Protect What Comes Next
Planning permission is just the beginning. As soon as you own the site, everything on it becomes your responsibility. That includes the build, the materials and anyone who steps onto it.
Standard home insurance will not cover construction works. Without specialist cover, you are exposed from day one.
Why site insurance is essential
Site insurance is built for self build projects and protects against the risks that can derail your progress:
✅ Damage to materials, tools and the structure
✅ Liability for injuries or accidents on site
✅ Delays and unexpected setbacks
Without it, one incident can quickly become a major cost. Protecting your project from theft, damage and onsite risks is not optional
Arrange your structural warranty early
Your structural warranty must be in place before work begins so inspections can take place throughout the build. Without this, you may not be able to secure cover on completion.
Choose an ‘A’ rated insurer to protect your investment and meet lender expectations.
