What sort of Undergoing Renovation Insurance do you need?
A renovation may appear to be a more straightforward proposition than a complete new build. But, even if youโre remodeling an existing structure, you need to be fully aware of everything that could go wrong during the project. And you have to make sure that your investment in time, as well as money, is fully protected. The first thing you need to do is to make sure your building contractor is appropriately insured. In effect, youโre trusting them with your future. You have to know they have the right cover for the cost and length of your build. If structural work is being carried out, your builder will need a Contractors All Risk or Contract Works policy. This will also cover any new additions to the existing structure that extend the property outside its original dimensions. These policies also apply to property developers who hire in contractors to do the work or who are project managing the renovation. In either case, it is advisable to have Contractors All Risk or Contract Works policies in place. At Construction Insure, we specialise in protecting our clients during, and after, any aspect of a renovation. Weโll work with you to help your refurbishment plans proceed as smoothly as possible.
GETTING THE RIGHT UNDERGOING RENOVATION INSURANCE
What else do you need to know?
If your project is costing over ยฃ30,000, itโs important that you give complete information of your refurbishment to your insurer. This includes any demolition or groundworks being carried out in connection with the build. If you omit any details, and there is a claim made, it could result in that claim being declined. Which may mean you having to fund any costs yourself, a situation youโd no doubt rather avoid. Another safeguard you may want to put in place is a JCT 5.4b. This is a Joint Contracts Tribunal policy that is a contract between yourself and your building contractor. This acts as a back-up if, for whatever reason, your contractorโs insurance fails. It means youโre not left financially or legally exposed in the case of a claim against you. As itโs project specific, it gives you more control over the insurance of your own refurbishment.
