Contractors All Risks Insurance (CAR)

What is CAR?

Description

Construction All Risks (CAR) Insurance is one of the most comprehensive forms of insurance for construction projects. It is designed to protect investors, contractors, subcontractors, and other parties involved in a project against financial losses that may arise during the construction phase.

Construction projects face numerous risks, ranging from natural disasters and on-site accidents to unexpected damage to works, materials, and equipment. A single incident can cause significant delays and substantial financial costs.

CAR Insurance provides protection throughout the construction period, from the start of works until final handover of the project, helping minimise the financial consequences of unforeseen events.

What's covered

Physical damage to or loss of construction works
Construction materials and equipment on site
Damage caused by fire, explosion or natural events
Accidental errors during the execution of works
Damage resulting from landslides, storms or floods
Debris removal costs following an insured event
Third-party liability for property damage or bodily injury, where included in the policy

Frequently asked questions

Are newly delivered construction materials still stored on site insured? arrow

Yes. Construction materials, equipment and machinery included in the project are protected against sudden or accidental damage from the moment they arrive on site.

When exactly does this insurance coverage begin and end? arrow

Coverage begins when the initial works commence, including excavation and site preparation, and officially ends when the completed project is handed over or accepted by the client.

If construction is interrupted and delayed, does the insurance cover the resulting losses? arrow

The policy covers the direct costs of the material damage that caused the delay. Additional coverage for indirect losses resulting from extended delays may be included by agreement.
