Contractors All Risks
Contractors’ All Risks (CAR) insurance is a property insurance by which any building or civil engineering project under construction is protected against accidents resulting in physical damage to or the destruction of works in progress, materials and other similar items brought to the site.
This policy provides cover for those who have an immediate material interest in a project. These are the Principal (employer), the Contractor and usually all Sub-contractors, often including suppliers of materials and equipment.
However, professionals such as Consulting Engineers and Architects are excluded from cover because the CAR policy excludes losses or damages arising from defective workmanship or materials, design, plan and specifications.
Construction All Risks insurance is essentially a combination of insurances covering the temporary and permanent works (of the project), tools, equipment and construction machinery of the insured against any unforeseen and sudden physical loss or damage from any cause whatsoever, other than those specifically excluded. The insurance also includes a Third Party Liability cover against legal liability for damages as a consequence of the performance of the contract.

Machinery Loss of Profits
This insurance policy provides cover for loss of gross profit, wages and spoilage (if cover is extended to include the cost of replacing and/or recovering material spoiled in the course of processing and/or cost incurred in cleaning the affected machinery) if at any time during the period of insurance specified in the insurance schedule, the business carried on by the insured at the premises specified in the insurance schedule is interrupted or interfered with as a consequence of an Accident to any insured machinery.
An Accident shall mean sudden, unforeseen, physical loss or damage to machinery specified in the insurance schedule of machinery whilst it is at work or at rest, or dismantled for the purpose of cleaning, overhauling or of being shifted within the premises, or in the course of subsequent re-erection on the premises specified in the insurance schedule. For the loss to be admissible, it has to be resultant from the perils covered under the machinery breakdown insurance policy.
Invariably, the machinery breakdown loss of profit insurance cover can be provided when there is in existence a Machinery Breakdown insurance cover for the same machinery to be insured under machinery breakdown loss of profit cover.
