1. The first rule is the bar coverage policy. It is the risk and liability policy from the first party. The P&I (Protection and Indemnity) are extended under this policy.
2. the name of the persons who must be include in the named assured clause are the owners, builders, sub contractors, lenders and other parties member if required.
3. All the parties whose names are motioned in the contract must negotiate with each other about their authorities and rites.
4. The fourth rule for construction insurance is the time period for the contract. Things like contract signings, engineering phase, and construction phase should all assign some time periods.

It has to be paid if some damage happens, for protection and indemnity and also for collision liabilities.
If we take an example to understand the fifth rule then it is beneficial.
Let say during the construction, some short circuit happens and the constructors and builders are responsible because they have not covered the wires and they placed some fire near the switches. It also destroys the vessels and other materials that the owner owns in his house. Now the builder has to pay for his physical damages, under the rule of All Risk Main section written in the construction policy that is signed by the authorities.
Damages of vessels are recovered by the liability and collision section and Sue and labor cost is taken under the Sue and Labor section for placing the fire near switch boards. This is the way how the escalation policy works while using the construction policy sections for paying the damages.
6. The places of coverage that are required for the movement of equipments must be provided to the people who are in contract and are working in the construction. Yard by yard coverage should be mentioned to related people. The adequate distance that is usually used by all agreements is two fifty NM. If it is the requirement to make the coverage area part of the vessels and equipments then they are declared to shipyards or warehouses. The owner coverage for owner furnished equipment is cleared under the rule of OFE and the delivery is through ship yard or near port.
7. The all contract works should be covered under the covered interests. The interests include the all ship yard woks and sub contactors with respect to the construction phases like strike steel, engineering, procurement, fabrication, undocking, keel laying, dry docking, fitting out and installation of equipments etc.
