Our Partnering Brokers
The dawn of AC & E Commercial is the development of
stronger relationship with our broker base and we intend
to leverage our relationships with the corporate brokers
further.
We have established a strong market presence with a platform for growth and have the ability to write these classes of business in a fair and reasonable manner to the benefit of all our clients and partnering brokers.
The property owner is generally required to indemnify the contractor
for loss or damage to existing property in the course of construction
and can extend the cover under the Commercial policy to cater for any
damage to existing property, excluding the property which is physically
being worked upon and new works.
In instances where there is partial handover or the Construction project
has not been handed over due to whatever delays, an assets policy can
be started immediately providing that seamless cover, not freely
available in the market. Instead of having all the policies/cover with
more than 1 insurer – the insured will therefore have no interruption
in cover whilst waiting on sign off.
The AC & E Commercial Policy can be extended to provide cost
effective cover for the materials used in the course of renovation,
alterations and additions to existing property insured under the
commercial policy and damage to property in the custody and control
of the contractor for work thereon.
The Commercial Fire & Specified perils cover will therefore provide
indemnity for damage to existing property arising directly or indirectly
out of the construction process and the Construction section for
damage to new materials being used and damage to existing property
under the control of the contractor thereby providing seamless cover
during the renovation and alteration process.
The cover can be extended to indemnify the Insured against loss or
damage during routine maintenance and in respect of insured
machinery being moved within the Insured premises.
AC & E Engineering insure construction of buildings including factories
from when the earthworks and infrastructure is done until the
machinery and equipment is installed and tested and the building is
handed over.
The AC & E Commercial and Engineering policies provide seamless
cover where both the construction and permanent risk is placed with
the AC & E Group; there will never be a question about whether loss or
damage is insured under the Engineering or Commercial policies.
Similarly, cover can be provided for machinery and equipment being
moved between premises and the installation of new machinery.

product in order to accommodate Property Owners and Developers
including Body Corporates, and incorporates the full spectrum of
