Coverage and Benefits
When you’re considering builders risk insurance, you’ll find that it covers a wide array of risks like fire, theft, and vandalism, offering you significant financial protection and peace of mind during the construction phase.
This insurance is often set at a fixed percentage of the construction budget, providing safeguards against unexpected damages. However, it’s not a catch-all solution. It won’t cover increased risks like flooding or earthquakes unless specified in the policy, and it doesn’t cover workers’ injuries.
You’ll still need workers compensation insurance for that. Review your policy’s duration and extensions carefully. Depending on the nature of your project, you might need additional coverage for specific risks.
Limitations and Alternatives
You’ll need to understand that this policy won’t cover every eventuality, such as earthquakes or flooding, and worker injuries are also excluded.
It’s critical to review the policy’s duration and extensions carefully.
If your project is at risk for specific hazards not covered by this policy, you’ll need to consider additional coverage.
For instance, if your site is prone to flooding, you might want to look into flood insurance.
Remember, while builders risk insurance offers crucial protection during the construction phase, it’s not a catch-all solution.
For worker-related injuries, you’re still required to have workers’ compensation insurance.
