Answered: NEC ECC: Insurances Post Completion

$

0
Correcting Defects is part of Providing the Works, as defined under clause 11.  Insurances are to be in place up to when the Defects Certificate has been issued.

If any loss or damage occurs, possibly loss of or damage to property (not associated with the works), then this could well be an insurable risk.  This could be at ANY time up to when the Defects Certificate is issued, not just during a Defects Correction Period, provided that such loss or damage occured due to a fault of the Contractor and that the matter ia covered under the terms of the policy.

Access to correct Defects after Completion is often an issue which is not addressed within the Works Information / Scope, but as you have highlighted it is something that should be considered to clarify responsibilities at this stage of the project, taking account of the cost issues associated with uncorrected Defects and whether access was given to the Contractor.
