Essential Coverages for Your Demolition Business

Damage to neighbouring buildings

Vibration and debris can damage adjacent structures. Civil liability covers this material damage caused to third parties.

Demolition Tools Equipment

Jackhammers, saws and hand or power tools, covered against theft and breakage on the job site or in the vehicle.

General liability $2 million to $5 million

Covers bodily injury or property damage that your business may cause to a customer or third party during the work. This is the basic protection required by most clients.

Tools and Equipment

Theft, breakage or loss of your tools and equipment, on the jobsite, in the shop or in the vehicle.

Property and materials on site

Materials supplied and work being installed before final acceptance by the customer.

Vehicles and commercial fleet

Company trucks, vans and trailers, with coverage of the equipment being transported.

Risks specific to the demolition contractor’s trade

Risk profile of the profession

Demolition generates dust, debris and vibrations that can damage neighbouring buildings, and old structures can contain asbestos.

Compliance and licensing

Most construction work in Quebec requires a license from the Régie du bâtiment (RBQ). The licence attests to your competence; Insurance protects your finances in the event of damage. Your customers will demand proof of both.

One comprehensive policy

Most businesses like yours bundle liability, tools, equipment, vehicles and property into a single comprehensive commercial policy — often better and simpler than separate policies.

Frequently asked questions

Is asbestos covered during a demolition?
Exposure to asbestos is generally excluded from standard policies. For older buildings, discuss an endorsement or a specialized policy with an insurance broker from our partner firms.
Am I covered if I demolish the wrong structure by mistake?
Unintentional property damage caused to a third party is covered by civil liability. Design errors are more of an errors and omissions insurance.
How much does insurance cost for a demolition company in Quebec?
The premium varies depending on your sales, the number of employees, your specific activities, your claims history and the limits chosen. As an indication, the civil liability of a small contractor is often between $500 and $1,800 per year, but the exact premium is established after analyzing your file. Comparing several insurers remains the best way to get a fair price.
What insurance is needed for a demolition contractor in Quebec?
The law does not impose civil liability on all companies, but your clients, clients and the Régie du bâtiment almost always require it. If you have employees, registration with the CNESST is mandatory.
Does my home insurance cover my business if I’m self-employed?
No. A home insurance policy excludes commercial activities. You need separate business insurance to cover your liability, tools, and professional equipment.
Am I covered if one of my employees is injured on a construction site?
Employees’ occupational injuries are covered by the CNESST’s public plan, to which you must contribute. Instead, your business insurance covers your liability to third parties as well as your property.
Are my tools covered if they are stolen from my truck?
Yes, with the Tools and Equipment endorsement, your tools are covered against theft and breakage, including off-site and in your vehicle. Check the applicable limit and deductible.
