Construction & Engineering Insurance

Protecting projects, people, and plant

Construction and engineering projects involve complex risks — from high-value equipment and materials to workforce safety and project delays.

Delivering them on time also depends on the transport operators who keep civil construction and infrastructure sites moving across Australia.

At T&G Insurance Brokers, we provide specialised insurance solutions tailored to builders, engineers, and construction contractors — while also supporting the transport operators these projects rely on. Our local expertise and industry knowledge help safeguard your projects, workforce, and assets, so you can focus on delivering work on time, safely, and within budget.

Managing insurance efficiently is key to staying profitable and keeping projects on track. We help arrange insurance solutions focused on:

  • Keeping fleets and projects working with minimal downtime
  • Managing costs without cutting critical cover
  • Supporting transport operators on live construction and infrastructure sites

Because when insurance works properly, trucks keep moving and projects stay on track.

We keep your business moving.
Right cover, right advice, right & support.

Civil Construction Insurance

Tailored protection for civil and infrastructure projects

Civil construction projects typically carry significant operational and liability risks. From roadworks to bridges and infrastructure, a single incident can create financial loss, regulatory penalties and project delays.

What’s covered:
  • Liability for on-site accidents and property damage
  • Equipment and plant insurance for civil works machinery
  • Contractual liability coverage for subcontracted works
  • Protection against delays and project-specific exposures
Why you need it:

Civil contractors face strict compliance obligations and complex contractual requirements. At T&G our team is here to help ensure your insurance program aligns with the needs of your project, protecting against both financial and operational risks.

Mobile Plant & Equipment Insurance

Safeguarding your machinery on every site

Construction projects rely on high-value plant and equipment. Theft, damage, or breakdown can halt work and lead to costly delays.

What’s covered:
  • Owned and hired plant, machinery, and tools
  • Mobile cranes, excavators, loaders, and transport equipment
  • On-site and off-site coverage, including transit
  • Accidental damage and theft protection
Why you need it:

T&G Insurance Brokers can help you find a tailored plant and machinery policy to reduce downtime, protect your investment, and keep you projects moving, minimising financial disruption.

Transportation of Materials Insurance

Protecting materials and equipment in transit

Construction projects involve transporting materials, tools, and machinery between sites. Loss, theft, or damage during transit can disrupt timelines and budgets.

What’s covered:
  • Coverage for materials and equipment in transit
  • Liability for damage to third-party property during transport
  • Optional coverage for specialised or high-value cargo
Why you need it:

A fit for purpose transportation policy can help ensure your materials and equipment are protected, reducing the risk of project delays and financial loss caused by transit incidents.

Flexible Payment Solutions with Premium Funding

Why use an insurance broker?

Insurance can be a complex process, navigating through the various products, covers available, exclusions and confusing terminology. Having an experienced insurance broker on your side means you have a qualified professional who acts on your behalf, not for the insurer, ensuring your specific needs are assessed and you get the insurance program that works for you.
