INSURANCE
PROTECTION AGAINST LEGAL COST RISK
The construction industry is fraught with claims, disputes and high financial risks. Creation of a dispute is easy! It is the resolution that is time consuming and costly. CPS (Construction Protection Services) is aimed at minimising the financial consequences of the dispute situation, whether disputes are settled through mediation, arbitration or the courts.
WHO WILL IT COVER?
All parties who are involved in the contracting industry can be covered. A typical construction project is between the Employer, Main Contractor, Sub-Contractors and the whole range of material and service suppliers. Disputes can occur in any one of these contracts.
