Why Choose This Course

The Dissecting the Construction Insurance Coverage training course develops practical understanding of construction insurance and the application of C.A.R./E.A.R. principles to real projects. It examines complex, high-impact exposures, including fire, collapse, flooding, theft and unforeseen incidents on site. Participants learn to interpret policy terms, assess exclusions and determine how coverage responds during building, infrastructure and refurbishment projects. This structured approach provides the technical clarity required throughout the construction project lifecycle.

The course explores how Construction All Risks (C.A.R.) and Erection All Risks (E.A.R.) policies operate as risk transfer mechanisms. It also addresses Advanced Loss of Profit (ALOP)/Delay in Start-Up (DSU) extensions and War Risk coverage required before projects commence. Participants analyse policy schedules, proposal forms and wording structures, supported by practical cases showing how insurers, brokers and underwriters evaluate risks and claims. The course also examines Parametric Insurance to support the effective management of modern construction risks.
