It is a contract signed by the property owner/contractors/ subcontractors/architects and the insurance company. It states terms of protection being given to the property, and construction materials when it's under construction. These contracts are also known as courses of construction insurance policies.

  What does builder's risk insurance cover?

Usually, damage or destruction by fire, wind, vandalism, vehicle collisions or other unexpected events is covered by the insurance cover. Certain policies cover construction materials stored in an off-site location and cleanup costs. 

There is no standard template for insurance coverage. The details can vary from one insurance provider, and premiums to another. The cover ends when the construction project has reached completion.

 

A few items that are included in a builder risk insurance policy are:

  • Construction materials- stored onsite and offsite

  • The entire building when its under construction or being renovated

  • Documents and data in the form of blueprints, specifications

  • Temporary structures (scaffolding or signs)

  • Clean-up eg. debris removal and pollutant cleanup

  • Amount paid towards recertification fees.

  • How the insurance company 

 

Few items which are usually excluded in a builder risk insurance policy 

  • Employee theft.

  • Work vehicles.

  • Damage from earthquakes and flooding.

  • Manufacturing defects or flaws in workmanship or design.

  • Ordinary wear and tear.

I hope your doubts about builders risk insurance coverages have been cleared.
