How do I insure my small construction business against construction site vandalism?
Vandalized construction sites are a risk your small construction can face. Find out how to protect yourself with the right insurance coverage.
Published June 8, 2023.
Between $300 million to $1 billion in damages occur on construction sites because of theft and vandalism. As a small construction business, the right insurance coverage is essential to protect you from the financial repercussions of vandalism. The first step is to understand your insurance policy options.
How insurance protects your business against construction site vandalism
Commercial property insurance can help cover damages caused by vandalism, including buildings you own, equipment and building supplies.
Construction insurance can also include liability insurance: general liability insurance and errors and omissions insurance. But these policies are designed to cover damage to someone else's property. So, by adding commercial property insurance to construction insurance, you can ensure comprehensive coverage for the various aspects of construction site vandalism.
Tip:
Consider a business owner's policy as an affordable insurance option that combines general liability insurance and commercial property insurance.
