Building contracts often bury their insurance requirements in a single dense clause. Paste the insurance clause from your contract below and this free tool gives you a general indication of the covers it may require — such as contract works, public liability, professional indemnity or workers compensation — and flags points worth reviewing with a broker before you sign.
Construction Contract Insurance Clause Checker
How it works
- Paste the insurance or indemnity clause from your building contract.
- The tool highlights the cover types and limits the clause may be asking for.
- A Silverback broker reviews your submission and contacts you within one business day with tailored guidance.
Why it matters
Signing a contract with insurance obligations you do not hold can put progress payments, indemnity and even the job itself at risk. Requirements vary between principals, head contractors and states, so what worked on your last contract may not satisfy the next one. Checking before you sign is quicker and cheaper than renegotiating after.
