Hamilton
Hamilton's trades, manufacturers and independent businesses.
Hamilton's construction sector, its manufacturing base and its independent restaurant and retail scene each carry distinct exposures. We place coverage for all three, from an office twenty minutes up the highway.
Hamilton's construction sector works to some of the most demanding insurance requirements in the region — municipal tenders and large general contractors both specify limits, additional insured wording and sometimes bonding. Getting those right is the difference between winning the work and losing it on a technicality.

Local knowledge
What we know about insuring in Hamilton
Municipal and GC requirements are written down — read them
Hamilton's larger projects specify their insurance requirements in the tender or subcontract. We read the clause against your actual policy rather than issuing a certificate and hoping it matches.
Renovation work changes the homeowner's position too
Standard home policies restrict coverage during major renovation, particularly if the property is vacated. A vacancy permit or builder's risk is often required, and it has to be arranged before work starts.
Older building stock brings specific underwriting questions
Knob-and-tube wiring, galvanised plumbing, fuse panels and roof age all affect availability and price on both commercial and residential property in Hamilton's older neighbourhoods.
