2 quotes for build insurance

Featured Replies

Protek - £1769

Buildstore - £1950

 

24 month coverage

 

I need to check the small print and that they are quoting for the same thing but all things being equal is there any good reason to go for the Buildstore one?

 

Cheers

Having had a look at the excess on the Buildstore quote this seems to be set at 10% with a minimum of £1000!

 

Seems high?

 

The Protek premium is at £250 excess, reduces to £1635 fro £500 excess and £1505 for £1000 excess.

Would tool-hire plant and tools be covered by the tool-hire company's insurance?

Just got two quotes for our project: Single storey TF build, 191m2 external footprint, 18 months cover, £5m public liability, £10k hired plant:

 

Protek £1,720.

Buildstore £2,385.

 

Protek it is then.
