Builders Risk Insurance

Protect Your Project Before It’s Complete

Every construction project faces risk. Builders Risk Insurance helps safeguard your structure, materials, and investment from unexpected damage while it's still under construction.

What Is Builders Risk Insurance?

Also known as Course of Construction Insurance, this policy covers buildings and materials during active construction or renovation. It protects against damage to:

  • The structure itself
  • On-site materials waiting to be installed
  • Items in transit to the job site

Builders Risk Insurance is often required by property owners or lenders before work begins.

What Does It Cover?

Most policies include protection against:

  • Fire and explosion
  • Wind, lightning, and hail
  • Theft and vandalism
  • Vehicle or aircraft impact

Optional coverage extensions can also include temporary structures, debris removal, or construction delays.

Why It’s Important

A delay or unexpected loss can have ripple effects across your budget. Builders Risk Insurance may help cover:

  • Lost rental income or sales
  • Loan interest increases
  • Real estate tax burdens during delays
  • Soft costs related to project downtime

The policy limit should reflect your full project value – materials and labor, excluding land.

How Is It Different From General Liability Insurance?

  • Builders Risk covers property and materials during construction.
  • Contractor’s General Liability covers bodily injury and third-party property damage.

Both are essential and cover distinct areas of risk.
