What is insurance in strata?

The set of policies that protect the strata from financial loss due to unexpected events, such as damage to the building or legal claims. It usually includes cover like building insurance, public liability, fidelity guarantee and voluntary workers' compensation. Note: the 'building sum insured' only covers the cost to rebuild the building as is, not the value of the land.
