Property Developers Insurance – Tailored Cover for Australian Projects

Property developers insurance is a package tailored to the unique demands of property development projects, from site acquisition through to the final sale. At Barrack Broking, we understand the financial, legal and construction risks and exposures specific to the sector. 

The truth is, any property developer can face claims and potential legal repercussions, which can cause a significant impact to a project you’ve worked so hard on. With Barrack Broking, you can ensure that in the face of these events, you’re still protected and able to resume business as normal. 

That’s why we help property developers secure insurance solutions that work for their practice and protect their project’s development.

Property developers insurance safeguards developers from any financial losses that may occur throughout the lifecycle of a construction project.

It protects you as a developer from expenses relating to delays and disruptions, as well as material damage, third-party liability claims, and statutory breaches.

Generic insurance policies aren’t specific enough to meet the demands of your development project. With the multitude of risks you’re exposed to as you undergo your property venture, it’s important that you sufficiently prepare your enterprise for the worst case scenario.

Having Barrack Broking by your side means that if a claim or dispute does arise, your entire portfolio and/or business is not compromised, as you have adequate cover already in place.

Common Risks Property Developers Face

Risk is inherent in the property development industry where external factors can quickly derail a project. Critical exposures include:

Contractor and Builder Insolvency

If your contractors or builders become insolvent, your project will stagnate and you will have to deal with replacement and disruption costs.

Weather Extremes and Site Damage

Damage from fires, storm, or flash flooding that are out of your control, but can detrimentally impact your progress as well as your physical materials. 

Third-Party Injuries and Property Claims

Property damage or bodily injury to members of the public can occur near your construction site. 

Cost Blowouts and Delays

Escalating costs due to holding expenses, council delays, and disruptions to supply chains.

Defective Work and Design Errors

Structural and design faults may emerge during or post-construction that may result in legal claims.

Purchaser Disputes

Allegations of breaches in contract or project disputes can make you financially vulnerable.
