Civil Liability<\/h4>\r\n
\r\n

In a self-build project, an incident can sometimes lead to material damage or injury to a third party. Civil liability coverage can protect you if you accidentally cause damage to others or if someone is injured on your construction site or property, according to the protections provided in your contract. <\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n \r\n

\r\n

Building (under construction)<\/h4>\r\n
\r\n

This coverage protects your residence under construction against covered risks, such as fire, certain water damage, theft, or vandalism. This protection may also cover certain materials and equipment intended for the construction site, according to the guarantees provided in your contract. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div> <\/div>\r\n \r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n

Construction Materials<\/h4>\r\n
\r\n

Materials represent a significant part of your investment throughout the project. This protection covers certain construction materials intended for your self-build, whether stored on the site or already integrated into the work, when they are damaged by a covered loss, according to the guarantees provided in your contract. <\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n \r\n

\r\n

Outbuildings and temporary structures<\/h4>\r\n
\r\n

During construction, several temporary installations or accessory buildings may be necessary for the smooth running of the site. This protection may cover certain outbuildings and temporary structures, such as sheds, construction shelters, fences, or other installations related to the work, according to the guarantees provided in your contract. <\/p>\n<\/div> <\/div>\r\n \r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n

Optional protections<\/h4>\r\n
\r\n

Depending on the nature of your project, several additional protections can be added to your contract to enhance your coverage. For example, equipment breakdown protection can cover certain equipment used in self-build in the event of a covered breakdown. Guarantees may also be offered for additional reconstruction costs, replacement value, liability related to contractors and subcontractors, or certain temporary equipment used on the site. These options allow you to adapt your insurance to the specificities of your project and benefit from more comprehensive protection. <\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/section>\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n
