Article L243-9 of the French Insurance Code

Insurance contracts taken out by persons subject to compulsory liability or damage insurance under this Title may, for building work intended for use other than as a dwelling, include ceilings on cover.

A decree issued by the Conseil d’Etat sets the conditions under which the guarantee amounts may be capped, depending in particular on the value of the works, their nature or purpose, the status of the client and builder and, where applicable, the level of insurance cover of the various parties involved in the same construction.

Article L243-9

Les contrats d’assurance souscrits par les personnes assujetties à l’obligation d’assurance de responsabilité ou de dommages en vertu du présent titre peuvent, pour des travaux de construction destinés à un usage autre que l’habitation, comporter des plafonds de garantie.

Un décret en Conseil d’Etat fixe les conditions dans lesquelles les montants de garantie peuvent être plafonnés, en fonction notamment du montant des ouvrages, de leur nature ou de leur destination, de la qualité du maître d’ouvrage et du constructeur et, le cas échéant, du niveau de la couverture d’assurance des différents intervenants à une même construction.
