What Coverage Does Builders Risk Insurance Provide?

  • Real estate taxes
  • Additional loan interest
  • Lost sales
  • Rental income

It’s crucial to consider the risks and exposures of your project at each phase of construction. Depending on your needs, your agent may recommend that you purchase broad protection, or they may customize your policy for specific risks.

Builders risk coverage is typically temporary, so your agent will help you understand when your coverage begins and ends. Your policy may provide coverage until one of the following:

  • The policy expires or is canceled.
