- Up to €1,450 per square metre for very good quality construction
For conventional construction buildings:
- The frame and roof must be constructed of reinforced concrete.

- The surface of the walls constructed of brick, stone or concrete must occupy over 50% of the total surface area.
- The roof must be constructed of non-combustible materials.
Is it mandatory to insure the building even if I’m renting?

However, you are required to insure:
- Moveable equipment (machinery, tools, computers, etc.).
- Merchandise and raw materials.
- Products in storage.
- Business vehicles, provided they are not covered under another policy.
