Abstract

This study analyzes necessity of expanding construction insurance and estimates required budget. Construction insurance is obliged by National Contract Law and Local Contract Law to protect projet owners and contractors from any unexpected construction risk such as financial losses in construction process. Currently the contracts of design-build and alternate-bid projects as well as PQ project, which are greater than 20 billion won, require the contractors to provide construction insurances in Korea. Insurance premiums are borne by the public project owner. Those contractors whose contract volume is less than 20 billion won burden all risks of projects at their cost. This causes equity problem. Because small-and-medium contractors are discriminated against large contractors since insurance-obliged projects are performed by large contractors and insurance premiums are borne by the public project owner. On the other hands, in all engineering projects, regardless of volume, insurance premiums are borne by the project owner. Therefore current regulation has to be improved, by expanding to all public projects. The average ratio of unobliged projects is 46%, in recent 3 years, prime cost of insurance companies is estimated 0.2%. Moreover considering risks of each construction type, prime cost of unobliged works is estimated as 0.13%. Hence additional necessary budget is estimated to be 2.09 billion won if total volume of public work is 3.5 trillion won. And 2.39 billion won is derived if total volume of public projects is 4 trillion won.

본 연구에서는 건설공사보험 확대의 당위성을 분석하고 확대를 위한 예산소요를 추정하였다. 건설공사 손해배상보험은 국가계약법, 지방계약법 등 관련법규에서 의무화하고 있으며, 건설공사의 수행 중에 발생하는 예기치 못한 사고로 인한 사업목적물이나 재산상 손해의 배상을 위하여 가입하고 있다. 현재 200억 이상 PQ공사 및 대형공사만을 의무가입대상으로 공공발주자가 보험료를 지원하고 있다. 의무가입 대상 공사의 경우 발주자가 보험료를 부담하지만, 200억 미만 공공공사의 경우 업체가 자기부담으로 손해를 배상해야 하는 형평성문제가 발생한다. 비의무대상 공사라도 많은 경우가 자기비용으로 보험을 가입하고 있으며, 민간 공사의 경우도 건설공사보험 가입이 많은 것으로 나타난다. 건설공사보험을 가입하면 건설업체의 부족한 사고관리능력을 보험회사로부터 지원받아 안정적인 조업이 가능하게 된다. 따라서 중소업체에 대한 보호와 중소규모 공사의 조업안정성을 위해 200억 이상 공공공사에만 의무화 되어 있는 현재 규제를 개선하여 중소 규모 공사까지 가입 범위를 확대시킬 필요가 있다. 비의무가입 공사의 최근 3년 평균 비중은 46%이며, 보험사의 보험료율에 근거한 원가반영율은 0.2%로 산출된다. 여기에 공종별 위험도를 감안하면 비의무가입 공사의 원가반영율은 0.13%로 추정된다. 이에 따라 향후 200억 이하 공사에 대한 보험 가입을 위해 공공공사 발주가 35조원 규모라면 209억원, 40조원이라면 239억원의 예산이 추가로 필요할 것으로 추정된다.
