Construction insurance – coverage to suit your business and projects
The building industry – covering major infrastructure, private housing, public buildings and industrial facilities – constitutes a major branch of our economy.
updated on Oct 10, 2024
The building industry – covering major infrastructure, private housing, public buildings and industrial facilities – constitutes a major branch of the French and European economy. When the pandemic first broke out in 2020 and continued throughout 2021, it affected a great many areas of the economy, and the construction industry was no exception.
It is therefore more than understandable that you want to work with a reliable, solid and long-term insurance partner capable of supporting you long into the future with adjustable solutions and special arrangements. To meet these expectations more effectively, MMA has ramped up its in-depth analysis of the quality of the risks proposed, supported by an enhanced underwriting policy and targeting our risk appetite more towards targets with value. We still abide by favourable rates both as an underwriting prerequisite and in relation to our portfolio..
An insurance solution to suit every construction company
We protect your business by combining in a single policy all the coverage that is both essential and mandatory for a construction company:
- Construction liability insurance for damage that could affect the solidity of the structure, from the first pile of earth excavated through to 10 years after the project delivery ;
- General liability insurance for any injury sustained by the company’s employees and customers at work, or for any property damage, including any errors and omissions ;
- Vehicle and machinery insurance ;
- Insurance for damage caused by the building work and equipment before delivery to cover companies during construction ;
- Legal protection in the event of legal proceedings against your company, recommended insurance coverage.
Our insurance also covers site risks to fully meet construction project managers’ insurance requirements.
