The Problem

Generic policies leave trades exposed

Most off-the-shelf business insurance ignores the realities of contract work principal-required limits, tool-of-trade cover, and subcontractor obligations. Ideal Insurance Brokers reviews the contracts you tender for and the risks you actually face.

We compare 220+ insurer markets that understand construction and trade operations, then build a program around your licences, your crew and your equipment not a template.

What We Arrange

Cover that matches the contract

Public liability, tools, contract works and professional indemnity reviewed together so a site incident, a faulty install or a contract clause is not a gap.

  • 01

    Public & products liability

    Cover for third-party injury or property damage on-site and from completed work matched to the limits your principals require.

  • 02

    Tools & equipment

    Portable tools, power equipment and specialist plant covered on-site, in-transit and at your workshop replacement cost, not depreciated value.

  • 03

    Contract works

    Materials, fixtures and works-in-progress covered from delivery through to practical completion including subcontractor damage.

  • 04

    Professional indemnity

    Protection for design, specification or advice errors increasingly required by head contractors and government tenders.

How We Help

Built for how tradies actually work

We know that a plumber's risk profile looks nothing like a concreter's. Your cover reflects the work you do, not a generic trade classification.

  • 01

    Contract review

    We check the insurance clauses in your contracts and tenders so you are not under-insured or paying for limits you do not need.

  • 02

    Multi-trade programs

    Running multiple licences or crews? We coordinate cover across trades so nothing falls between policies.

  • 03

    Claims advocacy

    When a tool is stolen or a site incident occurs, your dedicated adviser handles the claim not a call-centre queue.
