    Hi PCers,

    Will soon be commencing a significant reno as an Owner Builder and was wondering about Building & Contents insurance.

    I understand the need for 'contractors all risk' insurance (well, similar) however was concerned about the usual accidental damage/loss insurance normally covered by Home & Contents insurance. I called my current insurer who advised I could continue my insurance but could not make any claims during the period of construction. Kinda like we'll accept the premium but not the risk.

    I have arranged for a construction insurance quote, but was interested in whether anyone had been down this path and what they did about insurance for events not related to the construction?
