Frequently Asked Questions

Builder's Risk Insurance Coverage - Construction Projects

Builders risk insurance, also known as "course of construction" coverage, protects buildings, materials, fixtures, and equipment during construction or renovation projects. It covers damages from fire, lightning, theft, vandalism, and windstorm, typically covering the structure itself, materials on-site or in transit, and temporary structures 


Typically, the property owner should obtain builder's risk insurance. At times, the general contractor may also choose to purchase this insurance, depending on the terms of the construction contract. However, property owners should consider securing an Owners' Interest Policy. 


 Builders Risk Insurance (The "What"):

  • Purpose: Protects buildings and structures under construction or renovation.
  • Coverage: Covers materials on-site, in transit, and temporary structures (scaffolding) from risks like theft, vandalism, fire, and storm damage.
  • Duration: Temporary, typically ending when the project is finished or when the owner takes possession. 

All-Risk Policy (The "How" Coverage):

  • Coverage Basis: Covers all risks of physical loss or damage, unless specifically excluded in the policy.
  • Comparison: It is broader than "named peril" coverage, which only protects against listed hazards.
  • Common Exclusions: Usually excludes flood, earthquake, acts of war, and intentional acts. 

Key Differences:

  • Definition: Builder’s risk is the coverage scope (a project), while All-Risk is a coverage type (how it's insured).
  • Scope: A Builder's risk policy can be all-risk, but it could also be a narrower "specified peril" policy.
  • Application: Builders risk is specifically for construction; all-risk can apply to other types of property insurance


Builders risk insurance is nearly always required for construction loans to protect the lender's financial stake during building or renovation. This policy protects against damage from fire, wind, theft, and vandalism, ensuring that if a catastrophe occurs, the loan can still be repaid. Coverage must be active before construction begins and often lasts until project completion 

 

Why Lenders Require It

  • Asset Protection: Lenders need protection against physical damage to the structure that serves as collateral for the loan.
  • Project Completion: If a project is destroyed, the insurance ensures the project can be rebuilt, preventing a complete loss and ensuring the borrower can pay back the loan.
  • Loan Approval Contingency: A valid builders risk policy is often a mandatory condition to close the loan and release funds.
