Contractors All Risk (CAR) Insurance Malaysia: Protect Construction Projects From Major Risk
Construction projects combine physical works, equipment, third-party exposure, contractors and a defined project timeline.
The insurance review should follow the actual contract, project scope, location, construction method and risk profile.
Unexpected site damage can affect both the physical works and the project programme, making early risk mapping valuable.
