  • Policy coverage and how to identify gaps in coverage
  • How to interpret insurance documentation, particularly policy exclusion clauses and the difference between cover and indemnities
  • What exactly is meant by defective workmanship, materials and design?
  • What are the different styles and approaches to insurance?
  • What are the principles of insurance that every construction practitioner should be aware
  • Overview of recovery actions
