Why You Need Course of Construction Insurance

The risks a contractor or owner faces during construction are wide and varied. In addition to fire, burglary or theft of materials or tools (including employee theft), a project could be damaged or even obliterated by hazards such as:

  • Explosion
  • Earthquake or subsidence
  • Lightning and other weather factors like windstorm, hail and rain
  • Floods, either from weather or damaged water supplies
  • Vandalism
  • Structural collapse
  • Increased costs and lost revenue arising from project delays due to an insured risk

Course of Construction Insurance protects you against these hazards. It can be taken out by a contractor, owner, engineer or even a project manager and can then cover multiple named individuals.

In addition, it will pay for debris removal in the aftermath of an insured incident, or for demolition if a structure has been seriously affected. And it covers extra fees arising from insured incidents, including replacement documentation and blueprints.
