At CIA Building Insurance Specialists, we understand that a building has community, livelihood and family at its core. Its value is so much more than the replacement cost of its roof and four walls. Our purpose at CIA is to keep the roof over your head; to ensure that your buildings and the people closest to you are protected from the devastating effects of fire, floods and other disasters.
With our roots in a family-run business started in the late 1990’s we have emerged as a respected market-leader in our industry, while still upholding the culture and ideals with which our company was founded.
It is this understanding that has fueled the development of our flagship building insurance solutions in conjunction with ongoing research, a constant drive to innovate and entrenched partnerships with our broker network. This enables CIA to offer insurance products, cover and benefits for residential, commercial and industrial property owners that are the benchmark in the industry.
CIA has a national footprint with 6 branches countrywide, each branch equipped with highly skilled and approachable decision-makers. As a result, we are renowned for consistent service delivery and the accessibility and personal touch of all our employees.

Whatever your requirement, we pride ourselves on delivering passionate, personable and productive service.
