  • Theft and robbery

  • Risks resulting from the execution of the work and from defects in materials or design errors
  • Human error
These coverages can be extended with
  • Demolition or debris removal expenses

  • Extinguishing and salvage expenses

  • Construction machinery

  • Overtime expenses

  • Maintenance coverage

     

    Liability can be added—compensation is guaranteed to any third party who suffers property damage or bodily injury due to the execution of the insured works.
    If Employer’s Liability is added, compensation is provided for damages suffered by site personnel.

What does it include?

The liability policy for architects and builders, known as the Decennial, should be highlighted.
