Builder's Risk Insurance

Builder's Risk Insurance is coverage that protects your construction project from financial loss due to damage or theft during the building process, covering materials, equipment, and the structure itself.

What Does Builder's Risk Cover?

 Let’s dive into the essential benefits that ensure your employees are covered when it matters most.

Property Damage

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.

Damaged or Stolen Supplies and Materials

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.

Soft Costs

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.

Damage to Temporary Structures

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.

Debris Removal

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.

Vandalism

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.

Why Does Your Business Need Workers' Comp?

Satisfying Contractual Obligations

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.  

Protection Against Financial Loss

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.

Minimizing Construction Delays

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. 

Safeguarding Supplies and Materials

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. 

Who Needs Builder's Risk?

These are some industries that most commonly require Workers' Comp

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.

PLUS 3 Other Necessary Insurances For Your Business

Our Workers' Compensation coverage is extensive, but it doesn't cover all the risks associated with running your business. We offer convenient bundle solutions with other essential business insurances to ensure you're fully covered and have peace of mind.

Workers' Compensation Insurance

Builder’s Risk Insurance covers your construction project against physical damage, but what about protecting your workers on-site? Adding Workers' Compensation Insurance ensures that your employees are covered for injuries or illnesses sustained while working, providing vital protection for your team and keeping your project compliant with state laws.

General Liability Insurance

Builder’s Risk Insurance protects the physical aspects of your construction project, but what about third-party claims? General Liability Insurance complements your Builder’s Risk coverage by protecting your business from lawsuits related to bodily injuries or property damage that occur on or around the job site.

Commercial Auto Insurance

Builder’s Risk Insurance covers the materials and structure of your project, but what about the vehicles transporting those materials? Commercial Auto Insurance ensures that your business vehicles and drivers are protected from financial losses due to accidents or damages while on the road.

Can You Afford to Take Chances?

Whether it’s a lawsuit, property damage, or an unforeseen accident, the potential costs can be crippling. And it’s not just about the immediate financial hit—think about the long-term consequences. The loss of reputation, the disruption to operations, and the stress on your team. The last thing you want is to be caught unprepared when it matters most.

The problem is, the process of securing the right insurance is a time-consuming nightmare. The sheer volume of options available and the number of providers you need to contact is just the beginning. Add to that the complex jargon used in policies, the hours required to evaluate and compare your choices, and the negotiation process that follows. All of this, while ensuring you meet contractual obligations and comply with New York City regulations.

As a business owner already juggling day-to-day operations, who has the time to navigate through it all?

But The Truth Is, The Wrong Decision Can Make You Lose Thousands, or Even Millions

What If It Were Easy and Didn't Compromise your Bottom Line?

That’s where we come in. At Reliable Insurance, we offer a concierge service designed to lift the burden off your shoulders.

It's Not Just About Insurance

It really is more than just about protecting what you have—it’s about having the confidence to grow your business. The right insurance strategy provides a foundation upon which you can work with peace of mind. It frees you from the constant worry or “what if” and allows you to focus on your craft. Imagine the possibilities when you know your business is covered, no matter what unforeseen circumstance comes your way. 

More financial security.
