Origin of the name « Dekatria »
DEKA: from the Greek δέκα meaning Ten.
Ten like 10 years of the main guarantee in real estate which is the Decennial liability (Article 1792 and following Code Civil and article L 241-1 from Code des Assurances)
Our perception of DEKA: we build all our professional relationships with our clients on their strength and their perennity in line with the 10-year period that characterises the construction insurance.
TRIA: from the Greek τρία meaning Three
Three like the 3 parts involved in an insurance contract: the insurer, the insured and the consultant.
Our perception of TRIA: we multiplicate our efforts by three to offer our clients our insurance market intelligence and our understanding of their professions in order to create an efficient harmonious and balanced tripartit relationship.
ATRIA: plural of αίθριο meaning “Atrium” in Greek.
Since the Etruscan and then in the Antic Rome, the Atrium is the centerpiece of the house, opened in the center of the roof in order to collect rainwater and let the sun in. In the current architecture, the Atrium represents the key piece of a construction.
Our perception of ATRIA: its former definition as well as the current one gathering the talent of the architect and sustainability create a perfect contemporary definition of it.
DEKATRIA: from the Greek δεκατρία meaning Thirteen.
Thirteen like the 13 years of premium funding in the Decennial Liability and the “Dommages-Ouvrage” insurance that are mandatory in article A 331-21 from Code des Assurances.
Our perception of DEKATRIA: DEKA + ATRIA + TRIA = DEKATRIA
