What Does Builders Risk Insurance Cover?
While many may recognize the need for builders risk insurance, just as many are vague on details like what builders risk covers or who’s eligible for it. With 35 years of insurance experience, we get those questions all the time. Today, we’d like to provide some information pertaining to builders risk insurance.
What is builders risk insurance?
Builders risk insurance is insurance that protects a person’s or organization’s insurable interest in materials, fixtures and/or equipment awaiting installation (or after installation) during the construction or renovation of a building or structure, should those items sustain physical loss or damage from a covered loss.
However, the differences in covered exposures and policy types between providers can make it difficult to determine precisely what you and your clients can expect from a builders risk insurance.

There are several groups of eligible clients for a commercial or residential builders risk policy – all of which can purchase the policy in their name, including the following:
Homeowners / property owners
Builders

Development / investment companies
Retail companies School districts
What types of policies are available?
Builders risk policies are typically available for three varieties of construction: ground-up new construction, remodeling (including or excluding the existing structure) and installation. From there, builders risk policies types often vary between providers. Despite differences in terminology, most builders risk insurance is available in a few different varieties. Those policy types typically include the location-specific/single-project, reporting form, blanket policy and the blanket installation policy. The location-specific policy is very straightforward, while reporting form and blanket policies can be more complex, enabling clients to include multiple projects under the same policy.
