The document discusses various stages and aspects of construction risk assessment for insurance purposes. It covers pre-insurance surveys, construction stage surveys, start-up and commissioning assessments, and warranty period reviews. The document also outlines what underwriters need to evaluate risk, such as location details, contract values, construction schedules, and contractor experience. Survey reports would include risk assessments, recommendations, conclusions, and other relevant details like photographs and diagrams. Large losses are often due to faulty workmanship, floods, explosions, and fires.

9. Pre-insurance survey
Advantages Disadvantages
Making decision before the Contractors can be assessed on
construction starts their previous projects only
Some recommendations can be All conclusions are made on the
given before the construction base of design examination
started
9

10. Construction stage
Advantages Disadvantages
We can assess the performance Usually the insurance policy is
of contractors at the construction already issued
site
Some design errors can be
revealed at the construction site
Planned and actual way of work
performing can be compared
We can define the
implementation of
recommendations
More recommendations can be
elaborated
10

11. Start-up and commissioning
Advantages Disadvantages
We can define the The final stage of construction, it
implementation of is to late to recommend
recommendations something regarding the
operations
Some recommendations
regarding housekeeping can be
given
We have los history for the object

12. Warranty period
Advantages Disadvantages
The majority of problems appear The building (structure) is
at the initial stages of buildings’ finished, so we cannot change
operation something in it

13. Stages of survey
Before the • Examination of design
visit • Study of contractors
During the • Site survey
visit • Documentation examination
After the • Recommendation elaboration
visit • Survey report preparation

14. What do underwriters need to assess
the risk?
• Location map
•Over-all contoured side plan – showing contract site,
storage and work areas
•Full Contract Value (broken down into major sections of
work) – also include ‘free issue’ or other materials not
included in contract value, but for which cover is required
•Detailed description of project works including method of
construction, equipment materials etc.
•A copy of the contract specification/feasibility study
•Scale drawings, general arrangement drawings and cross
sectional drawings
•Construction schedule bar chart
•Contractors and Sub-contractors’ experience
•Photographs (if available)

consequences are estimated. Hazardous occurrence scenarios are elaborated if
necessary
