Each year DASK sets the maximum coverage limit with reference to the increase in building costs. As of 1 January, 2011, the maximum coverage offered by DASK is set as TRY 150 Thousand for all types of buildings.

When setting the maximum coverage figure, reconstruction price (excluding the land cost) of the buildings which make up the majority of existing building inventory is taken into account.
