This is one of the main important factors to familiarize upon obtaining insurance for your property or your construction project. In the face of numerous risks that might exist during project execution, construction insurance will secure your people or workers, tools, machinery, vehicles, and work site.  

Currently, the most common construction insurance policies are the so-called ‘standalone construction policy’ and the ‘bolt-on approach’ or simply an extension to the existing policy. Most of the standalone construction policies have been specifically drafted to the country’s construction environment, meeting the insurance requirements of the standards in construction contracts.
