Let’s dive into the essential benefits that ensure your employees are covered when it matters most.
Builder's Risk insurance covers damage to the building or structure under construction. This includes damages caused by events such as fire, lightning, wind, hail, vandalism, or theft. The policy generally covers the cost of materials, labor, and other expenses incurred to repair or replace the damaged parts of the structure.
Builder's Risk insurance covers materials and supplies intended for the construction project that are stored on-site. Whether these materials are waiting to be installed or temporarily stored, Builder's Risk insurance can cover losses if they are damaged or stolen.
In addition to direct physical damage, Builder's Risk insurance can cover "soft costs" including additional interest on loans, real estate taxes, architectural and engineering fees, and legal costs. This coverage helps protect against financial losses beyond just the physical damage to the construction project.
Builder's Risk insurance covers temporary structures that are essential to the construction process, such as scaffolding, fencing, and temporary buildings. These structures are often necessary for safety and logistics during the construction process, and their damage or loss could impact the progress of the project.
After a covered event such as a fire or severe storm, there can be a significant amount of debris to clear before construction can resume. Builder's Risk insurance typically covers the cost of debris removal, ensuring that the site can be cleared and construction can restart promptly.
Builder's Risk insurance provides crucial protection against vandalism, covering the costs associated with damage to your construction project caused by intentional acts of destruction. This ensures that your investment is safeguarded from the financial burden of repairs and delays resulting from such malicious incidents.
Many construction contracts require Builder’s Risk insurance as a mandatory condition. Having this coverage ensures that the business meets contractual obligations, allowing the project to proceed smoothly and maintaining good relationships with contractors, lenders, and other stakeholders.
By ensuring you’re covered, you position your business as a reliable and professional entity that is prepared for any eventuality.
Builder’s Risk insurance safeguards the business from significant financial losses due to unforeseen events like fire, theft, vandalism, or natural disasters during the construction phase. This protection is crucial in preventing costly out-of-pocket expenses for repairs, replacements, or rebuilding.
Builder’s Risk insurance often includes coverage for soft costs, such as additional interest on loans or extended permits, that result from construction delays due to covered events. This helps the business avoid financial strain from delays and keeps the project on schedule.
The insurance covers materials and supplies stored on-site, protecting them from risks like theft or damage before they are installed. This is vital for ensuring the continuity of the construction process without unexpected financial setbacks.
Construction projects are vulnerable to unexpected damages, such as fire, theft, or vandalism during the building phase. This exposes these projects to costly delays and financial losses.
Contractors frequently work with projects that involve the installation of costly, specialized machinery. If this equipment is damaged or stolen before the project is completed, it can be expensive and time-consuming to replace.
Manufacturing companies often need to construct new facilities or expand existing ones to increase production capacity or modernize their operations. During the construction phase, the buildings, specialized equipment, and raw materials are exposed to risks, making Builder's Risk crucial.
Real estate developers often invest in large-scale projects, and Builder's Risk insurance safeguards their investments by covering potential damages to structures under construction.
Companies specializing in renovations or remodeling projects need Builder’s Risk Insurance to protect against damage to structures and materials during upgrades or restorations.
Retail businesses that are renovating their current space or building new stores are exposing their property and materials to risks, including, fire, theft, or vandalism. This makes Builder's Risk crucial for this stage.
