Builders, Civils & Highways
These are the contractors who run the job or build the infrastructure around it. A general builder may be the principal contractor with a dozen subcontractors beneath them, a civils firm may be working next to live utilities and public roads, and a fencing contractor is often the first firm on site and the last to leave.
What they tend to share is responsibility for other people: the public passing the site, neighbouring property, the subcontractors on the job and the client's existing structure. Contract conditions from main contractors and local authorities often set the limits, the indemnities and the joint names requirements, so the policy usually needs to be read alongside the contract rather than bought on its own.
