Design and build your project with confidence
Builders, contractors and owners of various plant and machinery face a set of increasingly complex risks. Mechanical failures or a breakdown of equipment can result in unexpected losses to your business. Losses can also come from damage to equipment or stock through normal business processes, as well as from natural hazards and malicious acts. In addition, you can face the loss of earnings or even penalties for the failure to deliver goods or services. Time and costs are decisive factors in the economic success of a construction project. Damage to or loss of your plant, machinery or equipment can ruin your materials, increase your operating costs and erode your profits. Most projects also work within very strict time frames, meaning any downtime is extremely costly.
