Scope Underwriting's Third Party Liability insurance offers extensive coverage for construction operations, protecting against property damage and bodily injury claims from third parties. This policy is designed to mitigate legal and financial risks associated with construction projects, ensuring comprehensive protection for business assets.
Third Party Liability by Scope Underwriting supports construction clients facing third party injury and property damage exposures on projects across Australia. The policy focuses on legal and financial fallout from construction activities that affect neighbours, passers-by or surrounding assets.
Cover includes bodily injury, public and product liability, casualty exposures and third party damage linked to a construction site or related works. This gives builders and contractors a single liability solution that sits alongside material damage cover such as Contractors All Risks.
This insurance product is available for home, apartment, commercial, industrial and institutional builders, plus civil contractors and subcontractors. It can respond on single project arrangements, principally controlled projects or annual renewable programs, depending on how the work is structured.
Third Party Liability by Scope Underwriting offers limits up to AUD 20m across all Australian states, with no separate broker contract requirement shown on the product page. That helps brokers place liability for a wider mix of projects while keeping placement with a construction-focused underwriting team.
Project-heavy clients often need to talk through contract terms, site conditions and program structure before settling on cover. Brokers can follow the contact and quote prompts on this page like the ‘Contact Underwriter for Quote’ to explore how the product might suit specific construction accounts.
