Why is this insurance important to you?
Statistically, every second building project is covered by a claim, sometimes with considerable costs. As a builder, you can thereby suffer unexpected financial losses. Construction insurance covers the risk of unforeseen damage to property. You should therefore protect your construction project from the start of construction to completion by a construction insurance.
Who is insured?
You are the policyholder as the client or general contractor. Co-insured are the contractors and building contractors commissioned by you.
What is insured?
The insurance covers all construction work, building materials and components for the construction and dismantling of the insured building.
When and where are you insured?
Compensation is paid for unforeseen damage to property that occurred during the construction period within the area designated as construction site in the insurance policy.
Which claims are insured?
Insurance cover exists, for example, for damage caused by:
Force majeure
Theft of permanently installed insured parts
intent
vandalism
What costs are insured?
In the event of damage, the costs for clearing up the construction site as well as the necessary restoration costs are reimbursed, less the agreed deductible.
Special
Since the construction insurance covers not only the risks of the builder, but also of the contractors, builders and subcontractors, a dispute over guilt and jurisdiction or a possible standstill on the site is avoided.
Conditions
The sum insured is usually formed from the respective construction amount. The contribution is dependent on the sum insured, the risk situation, the desired scope of coverage and, if applicable, project-specific individual agreements.
Possible supplements to the insurance
Adjacent buildings that interfere with statics can also be insured against collapse. Furthermore, in old buildings to be rebuilt or renovated, the existing building substance can be included in the insurance cover by means of an additional agreement.
An ideal supplement to construction insurance is a construction service business interruption insurance. It includes the so-called “interruption damage”.
An example:
A hurricane tore down the already half-finished roof of your house. The construction is delayed considerably. The construction business interruption insurance will replace the resulting rent loss. The insurance company offers individual solutions that are tailored exactly to your construction project.
Tips
If agreed, builders can allocate the contribution for construction services insurance pro rata to the executing companies, as their risks are also covered.
The costs for construction insurance are tax deductible.
