Builder’s Risk Insurance

For Buildings Under Construction

Buildings are susceptible to risks during construction. They can be damaged by fire, hurricanes, vandalism, and cause a huge loss to the building owner. Builder’s risk insurance is important. It helps protect buildings under construction and the property owner as well.

There are many parties involved in a construction project

  • Property owner

  • General contractor

  • Sub-contractor

  • Architect

and more…

Property owners are responsible for getting builder’s risk insurance for the construction project. Property owners are also encouraged to purchase Owners Interest Policy to get an extra layer of coverage. Contractors and subcontractors are usually required to have general liability insurance before being able to start on a project.

Builder’s risk insurance coverage

Now, the important question - what does builder’s risk insurance cover?

This insurance policy helps protect the materials, supplies and equipment (whether on site, in transit or at other locations) for buildings under construction.

The cost of damages caused by wind, rain, hail to the buildings that are under construction are covered by builder’s risk insurance. Also, builder’s risk insurance can help take care of the cost of any stolen materials as construction sites are usually unguarded and is common for theft to occur.

There is also a probability for fire damage to occur not only to buildings but also an unfinished structure. If a fire damages a sliding, the contactor can make an insurance claim.
