Ben is the director of Built-in Insurance Brokers, a firm exclusively protecting the construction industry from catastrophic financial loss. He exposes the fatal gaps in generic retail liability policies, explaining how a simple occupation mismatch or the standard “building defects exclusion” can leave you completely uninsured against million-dollar leaky home lawsuits.
Owen and Ben also break down the operational risk of underinsuring your tools against floods. They detail the exact administrative process required to force homeowners to secure their own contract works cover before your crew steps on site for a renovation.

Too many building company owners work long hours for very little profit, aren’t able to spend time with their families, and are stressed to the limit.
This is not your fault.
You can be the best builder in the world but trade school doesn’t teach you how to run a business.
This is why we created The Professional Builder.
Gaining control over your business doesn’t need to be hard.
