Contractors & Construction Insurance in Edmonton, Alberta
Alberta’s construction industry is among Canada’s fastest growing and contributes more than 8% of the province’s GDP, generally employing over 250,000 employees. However, with opportunity comes risk: Increasing material prices, lack of skilled labour, extreme weather, as well as increased compliance regulations are making it more challenging for contractors to be able to contract the project without the right protection.
At A-Kan Insurance, we help build custom insurance solutions for contractors and construction businesses in Alberta, Edmonton. Our goal is straightforward – protecting your business.

Why Contractors Require Specialized Insurance?
Construction is not like other industries. Unlike other industries with little moving parts, construction use dynamic high value equipment, moving timelines, subconstruction contracts and dangerous job sites. One incident, whether being an injury on-site, stolen tools, or delays in a project, can create huge setbacks, financially for builders.
This is why Contractor Insurance Edmonton is not just a ‘check box’ but a proprioception for your reputation, your projects, and your net worth.
How much does contractor insurance in Edmonton cost?
Contractors and construction business liability insurance costs depend on:
- Type of projects (residential, commercial, industrial)
- Annual gross revenue and payroll
- Type and value of tools, equipment and vehicles you have
- Number of subcontractors you hire
- Past safety and claims history
In general, a small contractor can expect to pay $1,500–$5,000 per year. However, larger construction businesses may require higher limits for their policies. At A-Kan we would not just search for the cheapest quote. We take the time to compare all proposals to give you the best combination of coverage for the cost.
