What does a builders' risk insurance policy cover?
A builders' risk insurance policy generally covers projects under construction against the costs to repair or replace materials at the covered structure for damage due to fire, wind, theft, collapse, breakage, lightning, hail, explosion or vandalism. Depending upon the area where you are building, your builders' risk insurance policy may also include coverage for damage caused by flood or natural disaster.
Builders' risk insurance coverage will typically protect:
-
The structure being built or renovated
-
Materials used to build the structure when they are on-site or in transit to the site
-
Equipment awaiting installation or already installed in the building while in the course of construction
-
Reasonable labor costs, overhead and profit for the project
-
Other expenses associated with the project that would have to be paid in the event of a loss, such as building permit fees
