Construction insurance broker in Larnaca
Construction insurance broker in Larnaca: request quotes from local professionals and compare prices, timings and terms.
Construction insurance protects the owner and the contractor against loss or damage during the build. The most common form is contractors all-risks (CAR), which covers the works themselves, combined with third-party liability, for example damage to a neighbouring property. In Cyprus, banks often require insurance when a project is financed with a loan, and employers have insurance obligations towards their staff.
Larnaca has plenty of new housing and regeneration work, and many properties are close to the sea. There, salt air and humidity call for proper waterproofing and corrosion-resistant materials. Ask professionals to state in their quote which materials they propose and why.

FAQ
Should I or the contractor take out the insurance?
Either can, as long as the contract says so clearly and both parties are covered. Discuss it with your lawyer or broker.
Is earthquake damage covered?
It is not always part of the standard cover. Ask the insurer directly and make sure it is shown in writing on the policy.
Does the cover end when the house is handed over?
CAR usually runs until handover, sometimes extended for the maintenance period. After that you need standard home insurance.
