ABSTRACT
The insurance provisions of DB11 are almost identical to those in SB11, and the differences are attributable solely to the different nature of the two forms of contract. The main provisions in DB11 relevant to insurance are summarised below. They follow the same form as SB11 and the discussion in the previous chapter in relation to SB11 applies equally to DB11: Clause 6.2: a similar indemnity is to be provided by the contractor to the employer in respect of property damage, other than damage to the works and to site materials, but only in so far as it results from the fault of the contractor. Clauses 6.126.13: where there is a contractor's designed portion, the contractor is required to take out and maintain a professional indemnity policy for the period stated in the contract particulars. Clauses 6.146.17: requires both parties to comply with the Joint Fire Code.
