1. Liability insurance: As with any construction project, there is a risk of bodily injury or property damage to workers or passersby. Liability insurance will help protect against potential lawsuits.
2. Property insurance: The retrofitting process may necessitate modifications to the building's exterior, potentially causing damage. Property insurance will help cover the cost of repairs or replacement.
3. Professional liability insurance: Engineering or architectural firms involved in design and installation of the facade may need to have professional liability insurance to protect against claims of faulty design or installation.
4. Workers' compensation insurance: Workers' compensation insurance will provide benefits to employees who are injured or become ill as a result of their work during the retrofitting process.
5. Contractor's insurance: The contractor hired for the retrofitting project should have appropriate insurance coverage to protect against any damage that may occur during the project.
6. Bonding insurance: The project owner may require a bonding insurance policy to guarantee that the project will be completed as specified in the contract.
7. Environmental insurance: If the retrofitting process involves the removal of hazardous materials such as asbestos, environmental insurance may be necessary to cover any environmental damage that may occur.
8. Cybersecurity insurance: As digital technologies are increasingly used in building management systems, cybersecurity insurance may be required to protect against data breaches and cyber attacks.
