CAR Insurance – Defects Coverage DE5 – Covers all damages except betterment of defective part DE4 – Excludes defective component part DE3 – Excludes defective property DE2 – Excludes defective property and that which relies upon it for support DE1 – Total exclusion for defective design, plan, specification, materials or workmanship

    14. Links With PI – CAR CAR covers defects but only where there is physical damage to the works CAR only provides coverage during the construction and defects liability period (must have guaranteed maintenance cover) CAR does not cover consequential losses (LDs)

Covered by PI if the Insured is liable. Rectification of other structural defects (not damaged) not covered. Covered by PI if the Insured is liable Consequential losses not covered.
