This Skill Bit explains Construction All Risk (CAR) insurance, a policy commonly required in EPC contracts that covers damage or loss to projects during construction from various events, thus protecting customers from financial burdens.

Additionally, it highlights the key differences between EAR and third-party liability insurance, noting that EAR protects the insured’s equipment, while third-party liability covers damages or injuries to others.
