What Insurance Ontario Contractors Need

Boardwalk Insurance Oct 15, 2024

Contractors need insurance built around job sites and contracts Canadian construction contracts often stipulate wrap‑up liability coverage and require contractors to coordinate with project‑specific builders risk policies. Municipal permitting and provincial building code compliance can influence insurance terms, as non‑conformity may void coverage in the event of a loss. Hold‑harmless and indemnification clauses in subcontract agreements need to align with your insurance policy's contractual liability provisions. Completed operations liability can remain for years after a project is finished, so limits should account for long‑tail exposures and potential defects.
