Concreters - Cement Your Success with VIZ Insurance
Lay a firm foundation for your business with our simple and convenient coverage

What makes a Concreters Insurance policy?
We know that you know you best. That's why we give you the tools to build your own tradies insurance policy across our three coverage types: Public & Products Liability (AKA Legal Liability), Tools & Equipment, and Tax Audit.

THE FOUNDATION
Public & Products Liability Insurance
Why You Might Need It
As a concreter, you face the risk of damaging your client's or another third party's property or causing bodily injury.
This is where Public Liability Insurance can come in handy. As long as your claim is not an exclusion and met the conditions of the policy, your Legal Liability policy would cover the cost of the damage to your client.
How It Works
Choose from $5, $10, or $20 million of cover. This is the maximum amount payable by the insurer for any one loss or in the policy period. Legal Liability is the foundation of each VIZ Tradies Insurance policy, and is included in every one.
Almost 68% of concreters in our portfolio over the sample period* have chosen $20 mil of Legal Liability coverage. Keep in mind, every business is different, so be sure to consider your own needs when selecting a limit.**

THE REINFORCEMENT
Tools & Equipment Insurance
Why You Might Need It
If you're a concreter, you likely have tools and equipment that you need in order to complete jobs and get paid. That's why they may be worth protecting with more than lock and key. For a lot of tradies, no tools and equipment can mean no work.
Unfortunately, the theft of tools & equipment around Australia is on the rise. $33 million worth of tools were stolen from Victorian tradies alone in 2023, up from about $20 million worth in 2022 (crimestatistics.vic.gov.au). Losses often occur after a break in to a locked ute, toolbox, van, trailer or garage. Tools & Equipment Insurance is designed to protect you if your tools and equipment are stolen, or sustain loss or damage caused by an insured peril.
How It Works
Tools & Equipment Insurance is an optional extra in your policy; you can add it to Legal Liability when creating your policy. If you ever wish to add it to your policy down the line, you can always give us a call or send us an email.
Tools and Equipment cover starts with $5,000 of cover for unspecified tools and equipment. Each unspecified tool and unspecified piece of equipment has a cover limit of $1,000 per item. To cover any tools and equipment valued over $1000, such as trailers or cement mixers, you simply need to individually specify these on the policy. In your policy, you can have up to $20,000 worth of these specified tools and equipment. Coupled with the initial $5,000 of unspecified equipment, Tools of Trade Cover offers up to $25,000 in total cover.
And finally... Tax Audit Insurance
Tax Audit Insurance is designed to cover costs such as accountant fees incurred from an audit by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). Having audit insurance can allow you to go without the worry and compromised cash flow from paying unexpected fees in responding to a tax audit.**

THE FINAL TOUCH
Tax Audit Insurance
Why You Might Need It
The ATO can audit taxpaying entities at their discretion, regardless of suspicion, fault or evidence. Some taxpaying entities are selected for audit at random, some are selected based on the profile of their lodgements.
If you favour protecting your cashflow against unforeseen professional fees following a tax audit, you may want to consider adding this optional extra to your policy.
How It Works
Tax Audit Insurance is an optional extra on your policy, meaning that you're not required to take out the cover. If you ever wish to add it to your policy in the future, you can always get in touch with us and we can update it for you.
You can either opt in or out of $50,000 of Tax Audit cover for your concreting business, and if you opt in, you can select an excess that is suitable for you.
