Insurance

$2,000,000 Limit of indemnity through The Hollard Insurance Company Pty Limited (issued and managed by Ando Insurance Group Ltd). An insurance certificate can be provided upon request.

JDH holds insurance for contracting work for new buildings through NZI New Zealand Limited

JDH does not hold a contract works insurance cover for contracts that involve renovations or any contract works to existing structures – both commercial and residential.

If the contract relates to a renovation or works on/to an existing structure it is the responsibility of the property owner to contact their insurer to arrange the appropriate contract works insurance–JDH reverses the right to request confirmation of this to ensure cover is in place prior to a contract beginning.
