Construction site theft — materials stolen overnight, no watchman proof

The situation

Construction materials worth ₹8 lakh were stolen from a project site overnight. The contractor had CAR insurance but the claim was questioned because there was no watchman log, no CCTV, and the FIR was filed 3 days late.

How we helped

We guided the FIR process (better late than never with documented reasons), helped prepare an inventory of stolen items with purchase invoices, and submitted the claim with a clear timeline. For future projects, we set up basic site security documentation requirements as part of the insurance setup.

Documents you'll need

  • Policy copy + endorsements

What affects premium and acceptance

  • Project value, duration, and site exposure factors
  • Scope complexity and third-party environment
  • Loss history and documentation discipline

Mistakes that delay or reduce claims

  • Project timeline extensions not aligned to policy period
  • Late reporting after incident
  • Site exposure differs from disclosures
  • Timeline/scope mismatch vs policy period
  • Late reporting weakens the incident narrative
  • Missing site proof and incident sequence clarity

  • Project start/end dates and realistic timeline
  • Scope clarity: what work is included
  • Site photos + basic notes system for proof (as applicable)
  • Plan how incidents will be reported on day-1

Which of these is you?

Contractor bidding for a project

You need CAR cover arranged before a tender or contract award, often against a deadline.

  • Sum insured set to the full contract value — materials, labour, and profit — so the average clause doesn't quietly reduce a future claim.
  • We work to your tender deadline; this is one situation where speed genuinely matters more than a leisurely review.
  • Project owner named as co-insured where the contract requires it.

Project timeline has extended

Your project is running longer than the original policy period, and the CAR cover needs to match.

  • We extend the policy period to match the real timeline — a common gap that only surfaces at claim time if missed.
  • Maintenance period coverage checked against your actual handover schedule.
  • Endorsement handled without disrupting your existing cover.

Incident at the worksite — need to claim

Something's already happened — damage to the works, a third-party injury, or a dispute over what's covered.

  • We check which section of your CAR policy actually applies before you make any claim commitments.
  • Guidance on preserving the site and documentation the way a surveyor will expect to see it.
  • If it's a crane or equipment-specific incident, we clarify whether that's covered under CAR or needs a separate liability/CPM claim.

Underinsured contract value vs. full contract value

Same average-clause risk as fire insurance, but many contractors don't realise CAR works the same way.

Still wondering?

Common questions people have before reaching out about this type of insurance.

?The project owner is asking for insurance certificates — what exactly do they want?

Usually they need: CAR (Contractors All Risk) certificate showing project value and period, and WC (Workmen Compensation) certificate showing worker count and coverage. We help generate these in the format project owners typically accept.

Frequently asked questions

Questions people ask
What does Contractor All Risk (CAR) insurance cover? CAR covers physical loss or damage to contract works during construction — including materials, labour-related damage, and third-party liability at the worksite. It does not cover defective design or wear and tear. Coverage is for the construction period plus a maintenance period.
Who needs CAR insurance — contractor or project owner? Either can buy it, but typically the contractor is required to arrange CAR insurance and name the project owner as co-insured. Many government and large private contracts mandate CAR cover as a tender condition.
What is the sum insured for a CAR policy? Sum insured is the full contract value including materials, labour, and contractor's profit. Underinsuring creates the same average clause risk as fire insurance — partial claims get proportionately reduced.
A crane accident happened at our site — who is liable, and does CAR cover it? CAR's third-party liability section can cover injury or property damage caused at the worksite during the contract period, but crane operation is often better covered under a specific liability or crane/CPM add-on depending on how the incident happened. Report immediately, preserve the site as-is where safe, and get us the incident details — we'll check which section of your cover actually applies before you make any claim commitments.
