Insurance & Hidden Costs

How to protect against site theft and loss?

  • Builders and owner-builders are responsible for insuring tools, materials, and equipment against theft or accidental loss.

  • Use lockable storage, staged deliveries, and employ night-time site lighting or CCTV for extra protection.

  • Most standard insurances exclude theft if security measures are found lacking, so verify prior to purchase.
