Contractors’ All Risk Erection All Risk

What is CAR Insurance?

Contractors’ All Risks Insurance is an all-risk policy that covers any unforeseen and sudden physical loss or damage to contract works and civil engineering works during the course of construction. This includes residential properties, commercial and industrial buildings, and infrastructure projects. It also covers construction plant and equipment, and construction machinery from any cause while at the site during the period of insurance, unless specifically excluded by the policy. Additionally, CAR Insurance covers third-party injury or damage claims, protecting the insured contractor from legal liability resulting from bodily injury or property damage suffered by a third party. 

What is EAR Insurance?

Erection All Risks Insurance covers loss or damage to contract works, primarily involving the erection and installation of machinery, plant, and steel structures, including testing. It provides coverage for physical damage to the project, equipment, and machinery, as well as liability for third-party bodily injury or property damage arising out of these operations.

How long does the coverage last?

CAR/EAR policies typically cover all stages of construction or installation throughout the entire project period until completion. They may also include a maintenance period to cover any defects or issues arising after completion. This maintenance period specifically covers loss of or damage to the contract works caused by the insured contractor(s) while fulfilling their obligations under the maintenance provisions of the contract. 

Does CAR/EAR Insurance cover third-party liability?

Yes, CAR/EAR policies include third-party legal liability coverage. This coverage protects against claims for bodily injury or property damage caused to third parties as a result of the construction or installation activities. It ensures that the insured parties are protected from legal and financial consequences arising from accidents or incidents that affect third parties during the course of the project.
