Buildings under construction face unique risks that standard property insurance doesn't cover. Builders risk provides essential project protection:
Covers the structure being built including foundations, framing, roofing, and finishing materials once they're installed. Protection increases as the building progresses toward completion.
Protects building materials and supplies at the construction site, in transit, or stored at temporary locations. Covers lumber, fixtures, equipment, and other items destined for the project.
Covers scaffolding, temporary fencing, construction trailers, and other temporary structures needed during the building process.
Reimburses additional expenses when covered damage delays project completion. May include loan interest, permit extension fees, architect fees, and other costs incurred during extended construction periods.
Pays costs to remove debris after a covered loss so construction can resume. Essential coverage since debris removal can be expensive after fire or storm damage.
Protects against theft of building materials, installed fixtures, and construction equipment. Job site security varies, making theft coverage important for most projects.
Featured insurance partners:
Coastal construction faces specific challenges that affect builders risk coverage needs. Understanding regional factors helps ensure proper protection:
Projects underway during hurricane season face significant wind and water damage risk. Coverage needs may be higher, and some carriers restrict new policies as storms approach.
Standard builders risk excludes flood damage. Projects in flood-prone areas need separate coverage. Elevation requirements and flood-resistant construction affect both coverage availability and costs.
Eastern NC coastal construction must meet specific wind resistance and elevation requirements. Coverage should reflect the cost to rebuild to current codes, not just restore damaged construction.
Major renovations to existing buildings present different risks than new construction. We structure coverage that addresses work being performed while protecting the existing structure.
Project value, duration, and risks determine proper coverage structure. We help you select appropriate limits, deductibles, and endorsements for each project's specific characteristics.
Either contractors or property owners can purchase builders risk. We help determine who should carry coverage and ensure policies properly protect all parties' interests.
Multiple contractors on a project creates insurance complexity. We help structure coverage that eliminates gaps and clarifies responsibility among project participants.
Builders risk coverage should begin before materials arrive on site and extend through project completion. We ensure coverage periods align with actual construction schedules.
Construction claims require specialized documentation. We help you maintain records, document progress, and navigate claims processes that minimize project delays.
Builders risk ends when construction completes. We coordinate transition to permanent property insurance so new buildings are protected from completion forward.
