Builders Risk Insurance Article

Protect Your Build: Learn why Builders Risk Insurance is essential for any construction project and how it safeguards your investment from unexpected risks.

Where does Builders Risk Insurance fit into your project?

Builders Risk Insurance is tailored specifically for construction projects, whether residential, commercial, or mixed-use. It’s designed to protect your investment during the most vulnerable stage—while it’s being built.

But why is it important to insure during construction?

One word: risk. Construction is unpredictable. From weather delays to theft of materials or accidental fires, every project faces potential setbacks. Builders Risk Insurance steps in to mitigate those risks, protecting your project’s timeline and your finances.

But can’t contractors or homeowners just skip it?

Skipping Builders Risk is like driving a car without insurance—it’s a gamble that can leave you exposed. Accidents, damage, or theft during construction can lead to costly delays and unexpected expenses. And lenders often require it before they fund a project.

OK, sounds important, but what does it actually cover?

Great question! Builders Risk Insurance covers physical loss or damage to a project during construction. That includes:

Fire, theft, or vandalism
Weather damage (hail, windstorms, etc.)
On-site equipment and materials

In some cases, it can even cover soft costs like project delays or additional interest expenses. It’s a safety net for your project.
