If you had asked me two years ago why insurance is included in every contract document, I wouldn’t have known the answer. No one had explained the significance of these insurances, and I never considered why their submission is time-sensitive or why a contractor's payment requests can’t proceed until the necessary insurances are submitted? I realized their importance when I stepped into the client’s shoes and understood that these insurances are a critical aspect of contract documents, designed to mitigate risks from various uncertainties during construction. Here’s a brief overview of the insurances typically required in contract documents and why they are essential: 1. Contractor's All Risk Insurance (CAR) - Material Damage: Covers damage to structures or materials due to unforeseen environmental or climatic conditions such as earthquakes, storms, high winds, or tsunamis. - Third-Party Liability: Covers damages to third-party assets or individuals not associated with the employer or contractor during construction. 2. Workmanship Compensation - Covers damages caused by poor workmanship, as long as the design is not at fault. For example, if substandard concrete is used, resulting in structural damage, this insurance would cover the repairs. 3. Plant and Equipment Insurance - Covers the contractor's plant and equipment, and, with the employer's consent, their equipment as well. It covers damages to or caused by these assets. 4. Vehicle Insurance - Covers all contractor vehicles on-site. In case of an accident, it covers damage to the vehicle and third-party liabilities. These insurances are typically outlined in the contract documents by the employer, allowing the contractor to quote rates accordingly. The cost of insurance, known as the premium, is usually paid annually but can be negotiated on a quarterly basis. Generally, only AA or AA+ rated insurance companies are allowed to provide these insurances. This is a complex field, and as I dive deeper into it, I’m discovering new insights with every policy page. I’ll continue to share my learnings as I go! #ConstructionInsurance #ContractManagement #RiskMitigation #ConstructionIndustry #ProjectManagement #Construction #insurances #learning

As I reflect on my years in the construction industry, transitioning to my current role helping business owners with their risk transfer programs, I'm struck by a quirky yet apt analogy: having insurance is a lot like having an outhouse on a hot August day. No one really looks forward to using an outhouse, especially under the sweltering heat of summer. Yet, when the need arises, its value becomes undeniable. You're grateful it’s there, saving the day when you least expect but most need it. Similarly, insurance often sits in the background of business operations—out of sight and out of mind—until the moment it becomes essential. Like the outhouse, it’s not something business owners want to deal with daily. However, when disaster strikes or challenges arise, a well-structured insurance policy proves its worth, providing relief and security just when it’s most crucial. In my role, I leverage my construction experience to ensure that every policy I craft is as reliable and ready-to-use as a well-maintained outhouse in those pressing moments. My goal is to ensure that when you need your insurance, it’s ready and waiting, just like that outhouse, offering protection and peace of mind amidst the chaos. In business, as on the construction site, the right preparations make all the difference. Let’s build your safety net together, so it's ready when you need it most.

Ok. Back to construction. While I really want to talk about current events because I find them important, current events have become polarizing and emotionally charges folks. (Just take the Ivy leaguers that couldn't help themselves but to publicly say insensitive or ridiculous things and have to face the consequences of publicizing their feelings. As my kids would say, "sorry, but not sorry.") Now, onto something different. Every time I think I begin to understand the insurance market, I realize I don't understand it at all. So this bottle neck gets created based on (i) insurance language included in certain contracts, (ii) with the reality of insurance a party maintains or realistically can procure, (iii) with what a party realistically wants to reimburse the other party to obtain the desired insurance, (iv) with risks that should be covered by insurance for the project but are not. Hence, insurance brokers that have experience in the construction insurance market are necessary cogs in the wheel.

In the world of construction, managing risks is as crucial as managing budgets and schedules. One key aspect that often doesn’t get enough attention is Course of Construction Insurance (also known as Builder’s Risk Insurance).
