Insurance

Project Insurance

Build with confidence, from foundation to handover.

Project insurance, including Contractor's All Risk (CAR) and Erection All Risk (EAR) policies, covers material damage and third-party liability while a project is being built or installed. It protects developers, contractors and owners from losses that could stall a project or eat into its budget.

Free, no-obligation advice. Most callers hear back from an advisor the same day.

Premiums

Project Insurance premium: what decides it?

Two people buying the same project insurance can pay very different premiums. Here is what insurers look at, and how to pay less without cutting the cover you need.

What it depends on

  • Age of the person or vehicle being insured
  • Sum insured or cover amount chosen
  • Health, lifestyle and medical history (for life and health cover)
  • Add-ons and riders selected
  • Claim history and no-claim bonus (for motor and health)
  • City or zone, occupation and policy term

How to pay a lower premium

  • Buy early: premiums are lowest when you are young and healthy
  • Choose the right cover, not the cheapest or the biggest
  • Compare insurers on claim record and exclusions, not just price
  • Pick only the add-ons you actually need
  • Renew on time to keep your no-claim bonus and waiting-period credit
