Builders risk insurance to protect your livelihood.

Did you know you can protect your properties even before they are finished being built? Builders risk insurance protects from risks like fire, theft, and more.

Under construction? Then you need builders risk insurance.

Builders risk insurance is effectively a form of property insurance that covers the period while the property is still under construction. It’s possible for the property owners to take out such a policy, though more commonly it’ll be a policy they insist the contractors take out.

What does a builders risk policy cover?

The key areas of coverage are damage caused by events such as fire and wind. You’ll also normally be covered for theft, vandalism (though not by your employees), and damage caused by vehicles or aircraft hitting the building. You’ll need to check how long the policy runs as it typically won’t allow repeated extensions of the construction timeline.

Coverages that are not included.

It’s important to be aware of what builders risk insurance doesn’t cover. Unless specifically stated, it won’t cover specific increased risks such as flooding on a beachfront construction or earthquakes near a fault line. It also doesn’t cover injuries suffered by workers, meaning you’ll still need any legally-required workers’ compensation insurance coverage, as well.
