The Contractor's All Risks Insurance
Contractor’s All Risks Insurance is a relatively new branch of Technical Insurance. It is an insurance for construction projects of all kinds, which provides extensive insurance coverage both for damages during construction, the configuration of the construction site and/or construction machines, as well as for third-party claims as a result of material damage or bodily injuries, which occur during the execution of the project.
Contractor’s All Risks Comprehensive Insurance helps to reduce unforeseen construction expenses that may occur due to material damage and/or loss and at the same time offers an effective financial protection to all parties concerned.
Nowadays, there is a growing tendency among project owners, consulting engineers, architects, and financiers to consider Contractor’s All Risks Insurance as a condition for awarding the project.
