Public Sector Construction Facility

Construction insurance for governments

We specialise in owner-controlled solutions, with the Public Sector Construction Facility (PSCF providing cover for physical loss and liability protection of local government construction projects).

Cover can be arranged for many project types – including building works, park and recreational facilities, swimming pools, civil projects such as sewage and water treatment plants, bridge construction, road and footpath construction and flood remediation works.

The PSCF streamlines administration and management, with essential contract information entered online, and a quote or a referral produced within minutes. Once a quote is finalised and accepted by a council, the cover can bound by JLT. Policy documentation and certificates of currency are produced on the same day cover is bound. 

Key benefits of an owner-controlled insurance solution include:

  • Insurance solution for specific projects and the duration of the works
  • Optimising levels of cover
  • Compliance with funding deeds and finance arrangements
  • Elimination of on-costs usually incurred within traditional contractor controlled insurance arrangements
  • Controlling cover and ownership of the policy
  • Coverage certainty if a contractor becomes insolvent
  • Reduced administration and improved due diligence on tender evaluations
  • Potential for project cost savings
  • Control of claims payments, ensuring money is directed to reinstating damaged works
