Insurance for builders - here's how to protect your construction site

For home construction, there are insurance policies that will step in if something goes wrong. If delays and damage occur during construction due to various circumstances, you can quickly incur high costs: You, as the builder, are liable for damages that happen during construction, must reacquire stolen materials and replace destroyed components of the shell of the building itself. You are also responsible for your helpers. In order to absorb the sometimes very high financial burdens that these risks entail, there are various home construction insurances available.

Several builder's insurances are important

In order to protect your building shell during the entire construction phase, it is not sufficient to take out a single insurance policy: Different policies take effect in the event of various damages. In addition, it also plays a role whether you as the builder are the injured party yourself or a third party. The following insurance policies, in combination, provide good coverage until your home is finally ready for occupancy.

Travel arrangements for sicily

Travel arrangements for sicily

I always advise my guests: book a cheap flight first, then the accommodation and last the rental car, without it almost nothing goes. Because the bus and train connections are poor in Sicily and only something for someone who brings a lot of time. So if you don't want to make a pure bathing vacation and also want to see something, you should definitely book a rental car. Especially since many consider the size of the island – after all, over 25.000 square kilometers – and underestimate the road conditions.

Tips for rental cars

Book in advance and in the high season (July, August, September) in time over the Internet. Preferably always with a fully comprehensive insurance, in which also glass and tire damages are included. Please make sure that the rental company is located in the terminal in case of cheap offers. This is the fastest way. Often there is a shuttle to the station. This means you have to call the rental company and they will drive you to the station. This can sometimes cost a lot of time. You will not get a car without a credit card and this should also be sufficiently loadable (ca. 2000 euros are advisable) because the sums for possible damages or theft are blocked, not deducted. Don't get talked into additional insurance at the airport. This is often tried, especially if you do not book directly with one of the major providers, but go through an Internet platform that acts as an intermediary. There you also submit the costs in case of accidents and other inconveniences, which will then be reimbursed. This means you pay in advance. You should have a close look at your car when you receive it and have any further scratches documented and, ideally, still take photos. Compare prices on the different portals. You will find a list at the end. If you are a member of the ADAC, you should also ask there for a quote for a rental car. Can sometimes be the cheapest offer.

Roller gets redesign rolling

roller gets redesign rolling

"It all started when an old roller was taken out of service. But we didn't want to simply dispose of them, says andreas schneider, head of the hoheim building yard. The roller was one of the first pieces of equipment in the building yard and had therefore been in operation since its foundation in 1968. Since the idea of sparing the entrance area of the building yard had been on the agenda for a long time, the idea of integrating the roller was born. "We have completely restored the old roller. First derusted, then primed and finally painted", explains the yard manager.
But the newly refurbished roller alone had not had enough effect. "Opposite of the roller was a simple green meadow. We decided to redesign it as well", explains schneider. To make it more challenging, the yard gave its three trainees the task of making the plain meadow more beautiful. However, there was no exact plan from the beginning, what goes where. How exactly the meadow should be spared, has gradually developed. Starting with a brick corner for flowers, it continued with the seating area and the placement of a rough stone that was found on the schwanberg.

It had to be perfect

Going to the doctor in france

France and Germany share a border of about 450 km and have a lot more in common. France, the largest country in the European Union in terms of area, and Germany, with the largest population, are the engines that drive the community of 27 states. They are also each other's main trading partners within the European Community.

With regard to the health system and medical care, there are similarities between the two countries, but also differences, with quite complicated regulations on both sides of the Rhine. For temporary stays in France, such as a vacation in Nice or a business meeting in Paris, one issue in particular is important when it comes to seeing a doctor in France:

Rewarding teamwork: a new level of employee motivation

At annual gala celebrations, certificates, bouquets of flowers and gratuities are distributed for the achievements of the best employees. The teams come away empty-handed here in most cases. But corporate success is rarely achieved through the commitment of a single person. In the long run, this system of rewarding the individual can lead to a decrease in commitment within the team. It's just not worth it for the individual to support the group. That's why you should think about strategies for team motivation at an early stage.
