Tips for Choosing the Right Builders Risk Policy for Your Project

Our team is here to help you navigate your options and secure coverage that fits your project’s needs.

What Is Builders Risk Insurance?

Builders risk insurance is a type of commercial property insurance designed to cover buildings and structures under construction, as well as other tangible assets used or stored at a job site. It can often cover losses from fire, theft, vandalism, windstorms, and other common risks on construction sites.

Key Considerations When Choosing a Policy

Selecting the right builders risk policy involves more than just comparing prices. Here are some important factors to keep in mind:

• Make sure your policy covers the full value of your project, including materials, labor and any temporary structures.
• Look for coverage that addresses common risks in the area, such as natural disasters and theft.
• Policies are typically written for the length of the construction project. Confirm that your policy can be extended if your timeline changes.
• Review what is not covered, such as faulty workmanship or certain types of equipment.
• Consider endorsements for soft costs (e.g., lost income or additional interest) and coverage for materials in transit or stored off-site.
