What Builder’s Risk Covers
Core Protections During Construction
Structure & Materials
Covers damage to the building itself, including framing, roofing, and installed materials while construction is in progress.
Materials in Transit & On-Site
Protects building materials stored on-site or in transit to the job location from theft or damage.
Fire, Theft & Vandalism
Provides coverage for common job-site risks that can cause major financial setbacks if uninsured.
Wind & Storm Damage
Critical for coastal projects where wind and weather exposure are real concerns throughout the build.
Temporary Structures
Can include coverage for scaffolding, temporary fencing, and other structures supporting the project.

Understanding the Basics
Course-of-Construction Coverage Explained
Builder’s risk insurance is typically a short-term policy written for the duration of the project. Coverage usually begins when construction starts and ends once the building is completed or occupied. We help you determine the correct policy limits, project timeline, and extensions if delays occur — ensuring your coverage stays in force until the job is truly finished.
