Construction Risks? We Can Help You Build A Strong Insurance Foundation.  

Orange pylons, detours & cranes are among the most obvious signs that the Canadian construction season is in full swing. If your business is involved with any aspect of the construction process &/or about to build, renovate or repair property, now is time to understand what your current policy will and won’t cover. For instance, learn exactly who should be named in a builders risk policy here

Before you “break ground” on a construction project of any size, there are many coverage options, exclusions and considerations that can, and should, be custom fit to meet your needs. For expert advice and construction insurance insights, call an ALIGNED Advocate toll-free today at 1-866-287-0448.
