CMFAS CGI Engineering & Construction Insurance question: visits maintenance cover during the defects liability period

CMFAS CGIEngineering & Construction Insurance

How does 'extended' maintenance cover differ from 'visits' maintenance cover during the defects liability period?

A It covers only damage the contractor causes on return visits, making it the narrower of the two forms
B It removes all cover once the works are handed over, so no maintenance-period loss is insured
C It restricts cover to third-party injury during maintenance, leaving damage to the works uninsured
D It also covers loss in the maintenance period from a cause dating back to the construction/erection phase

Show the answer and explanation

Answer: D. It also covers loss in the maintenance period from a cause dating back to the construction/erection phase

Visits maintenance covers damage the contractor causes on return visits; extended maintenance is wider, also covering damage during the maintenance period arising from a cause dating back to the construction/erection phase.

Common mistake

Treating the two maintenance forms as identical, or reversing which is the wider cover.
