The Basics of COC Insurance

Course of Construction insurance, commonly known as Builder's Risk insurance, is designed to protect property owners, contractors, and developers against risks associated with construction projects. It provides coverage for losses resulting from events such as fire, vandalism, theft, and other unforeseen perils that could cause damage to the project under construction.

Typically, COC policies are intended to cover the duration of the construction project, from the moment construction begins until the project is completed. However, construction projects can sometimes experience delays due to various reasons, and this is where the need for policy extensions arises.

Understanding APOLLO's COC Policy Extensions

APOLLO Insurance recognizes the dynamic nature of construction projects and the potential for unexpected delays. To address these concerns, they now offer policyholders the option to extend their COC policies beyond the original coverage period, up to a maximum of 18 months. This extension can provide valuable peace of mind by ensuring that your project remains adequately protected throughout its development.
