Prepare a useful insurance submission
List disciplines, professional registrations, project types, contract values, territories and responsibilities for drawings, specifications or inspections.
Include your legal business name, operating locations, revenue, current cover and claims history. Explain all activities, including occasional work.
Coverage questions for your operation
Review professional liability, limitation clauses, retroactive dates and notification terms. Explain structural, environmental, industrial or other specialist work explicitly.
Compare the declared work, limits, deductibles and exclusions in each proposal. Availability depends on your activities, province and the participating licensed provider.

Actual outcomes depend on the facts, accepted activities and policy wording.
