A construction insurance risk compensation fund has been set up to contribute, within the framework of agreements that may be concluded for this purpose with the insurance companies concerned, to the compensation of claims affecting buildings for which work began before a date set by decree in the Conseil d’Etat, after which the corresponding premiums will no longer be collected.
The fund may enter into agreements with insurance companies to offset the financial impact of changes in construction costs on their ten-year insurance cover.
The fund contributes to the financing of actions to prevent disorders and promote quality in construction.
Management of the fund is entrusted to the Caisse Centrale de Réassurance.
A Conseil d’Etat decree sets out the conditions for the application of this article.
