Our Approach
We understand that construction insurance can be complicated. Agile’s construction underwriters are engineers who live and breathe construction. We will use our wealth of construction and insurance knowledge to offer flexible, practical solutions to mitigate your insurable risks.
Agile Construction offers specialist material damage cover (Construction All Risk and Erection All Risk) for a broad range of construction types and industries. The insurance can be purchased by the main contractor, principal, sub-contractor or in joint names, depending on your specific requirements.
CAR or EAR: what’s the difference?
Agile specialises in:
- Construction All Risk (CAR, also known as contractors all risk or contract works) and
- Erection All Risk (EAR).
CAR
Provides comprehensive cover for construction, building and civil engineering projects.
EAR
Covers the installation and erection of complex machinery and plant, including during testing and commissioning. The CAR and EAR policy wordings are fairly similar and offer comparable physical damage cover.
However the risk profile is very different. Historically, the largest claims on CAR projects are usually driven by weather events, like rain, storms and floods. For EAR, it is testing and commissioning requirements, which can result in fires and explosions.
