Insurance in Switzerland

Business liability for construction and trade businesses

Work-related damage, utilities and work at customer sites.

Your work determines the cover

Work-related damage, utilities and work at customer sites need to be assessed against actual work practices and the policy wording.

Illustrative example — not a cover confirmation

An existing water pipe is damaged during installation work. Whether cover applies depends on liability, declared activities, exclusions and deductible.

Points to check

Work on customer property. Utility and consequential damage. Work at third-party sites. Subcontractors and contractual liability.

Information for a focused quotation

Trades, installation work, subcontractors, turnover and payroll. We discuss existing policies and customer requirements through an agreed channel afterwards.

Beyond liability

With employees, KTG and UVG become relevant. Your own equipment, stock and premises require a separate property or technical insurance assessment.

Frequently asked questions

Is damage to property being worked on included?

This depends on the contract. It should be checked explicitly.

Can you review an existing policy?

Yes. Describe your work and the scope of the review; we then clarify the documents needed.
