ABR
What is ABR insurance?
As a builder or contractor, you know that construction projects are full of risks. From collapsing walls to theft of building materials... you name it.
The all construction site risks insurance offers dual protection:
- for damage to your yard itself
- damage caused by your yard to others
Why ABR insurance?
Building with confidence
Lengthy discussions about damage to your yard... You no longer have to worry about that. No more wrangling over who is at fault or who should pay for the damage.
Time is money, your ABR insurance relieves you and reimburses you without questioning liability.
Better a good neighbour than a distant friend
Nothing is more annoying than neighbours experiencing damage to their property due to your work. This too is covered in our ABR insurance. Your peace of mind as well as all surrounding properties are in good hands with Materné.
Protection of your equipment
ABR insurance protects your building materials or equipment that will be installed in the building against theft.
What does ABR insurance cover?
Peace of mind is invaluable, especially on the construction site. Our ABR insurance serves as a shield for any construction partner wishing to guard against unwanted damage, both to the works and on the site itself.
What really sets this insurance policy apart? It protects every construction partner. We do not waste valuable time trying to find the guilty party. Our insurance offers direct intervention for damage on site. Moreover, an additional section can be added to cover third-party damage.
Speed and efficiency are central to our approach. Is it clear that it is a covered claim? Then the claims process switches to a higher gear.
All parties involved can sleep on both ears: the principal, contractor, subcontractors, architects, engineers, safety coordinators, engineering firms, etc.
Our ABR insurance builds a solid foundation of protection and confidence. Damages are turned into opportunities, obstacles turn into milestones on your path to success.
