Construction and Rebuild Cover Liability by Agile Underwriting Services FAQs
What is construction and rebuild cover in aviation insurance?
Construction and rebuild cover protects an aircraft while it is being built, restored or rebuilt, before it starts regular flying. It responds to accidental damage during the project period and it focuses on the project stage rather than active flying.
For Construction and Rebuild Cover Liability by Agile Underwriting Services, that means cover for kit plane builds, vintage restorations and warbird projects while they are still on the ground. It gives structure around project value, spares and liability at the workshop.
Who is the Construction and Rebuild Cover Liability by Agile Underwriting Services designed for?
The policy is aimed at people and businesses running long‑term aircraft projects. It suits aircraft owners, pilots and small operators who are hands‑on with their build or restoration.
It highlights homebuild aircraft and small batches of aircraft manufacturing as target classes. Pilots working on restorations or rebuilds are also called out, whether the work happens in a private shed or a hangar.
Does this cover include the physical aircraft only, or related liabilities as well?
Construction and Rebuild Cover Liability by Agile Underwriting Services extends beyond the aircraft itself. It starts with accidental damage to the project but can also include liability around the build location.
Premises liability cover can reach up to $2 million for third‑party injury or property damage at the workshop. Optional spares in transit cover then deals with parts moved between suppliers, storage and the project site.
How flexible are limits and options under this construction and rebuild cover?
Construction and Rebuild Cover Liability by Agile Underwriting Services notes project values up to $300,000 and premises liability up to $2 million, with the record showing a higher overall maximum of AUD 5 million. Within those figures, brokers can shape sums insured and pick options like spares in transit to suit each project.
