Builders risk insurance for projects from groundbreaking to handover
Construction changes a property day by day. A builders risk review should account for the project’s value, work phases, materials, site conditions, and who has an interest in the project.
Builders risk insurance may address certain covered physical loss or damage to a building or materials during construction, subject to the policy. New construction, renovations, and additions can present different exposures. Project value, construction type, materials, work schedule, site security, weather exposure, storage, and subcontractor responsibilities may influence insurer review.
4P Insurance can help owners and contractors organize project details and discuss options that may be available through the authorized process. Review who must be insured, when coverage begins and ends, materials in transit or stored off-site, soft costs, occupancy, and completed work. Builders risk is not a substitute for general liability, workers’ compensation, or contractors’ equipment coverage. The policy and insurer confirm covered causes, exclusions, limits, and project eligibility.

Questions worth asking
A few useful points to bring into a conversation with a professional.
When does builders risk insurance apply?
It may apply to covered physical loss or damage during a defined construction period. Effective dates, covered property, occupancy conditions, and causes of loss depend on the policy.
Does builders risk replace general liability or workers’ compensation?
No. Those policies address different exposures. A project may need separate consideration of liability, employee injuries, equipment, and construction property.
