Insurance for the building industry. Help Protect your Insurance for the home construction or home builders.

Are you thinking of building a new house?

Make sure that one of the first things on your to-do list is to double-check that your property is properly insured. You can not believe that your builder’s policy will compensate you; it will not. You’ll need your liability and builder’s risk protection when the house is being built.

Here are some key points to remember about a builder’s risk policy:

Risk Insurance for Contractors

Builder’s Risk Insurance is a form of insurance that is intended to protect homes as they are being built. It normally protects the structure and materials of a newly constructed home from theft and vandalism. It also includes off-site materials that will be used to build your house. Since there are normally no personal belongings on the building site, Builders Risk Insurance does not offer liability coverage or other protection for the home’s contents.

Do you want it? If you own the house, you will need insurance. If you don’t own your home yet or your contractor purchases the builder’s risk on your behalf, you won’t need a policy in most situations.

Before you sign a deal with a contractor, make sure you have a copy of their insurance certificate. It’s vital to speak to your current representative about the contractor’s insurance limits. General liability, goods and finished activities (which might shield you if anything goes wrong with your house years after it was built), and workers compensation coverage are the forms of coverage to look for. Contact us to check the certificate if your current agent is unfamiliar with commercial insurance.

Coverage Length

For the new buildings, builder’s risk policies are usually written for 12 months. Most, however, may be renewed if there are construction delays. If there are delays and it will take longer than scheduled, it is important to maintain open lines of communication with your insurance company.

Is it also necessary for me to have a homeowner’s policy?

You will almost always need a builder’s risk policy and then some form of liability policy if this is the new building.

Since there is a chance that someone working on the site, a child, or a visitor to the site will be injured, liability coverage is essential.

This responsibility can be purchased in a variety of ways. You can expand your responsibility from your primary location if you buy or rent another house. You can buy a stand-alone liability policy for the building site if you don’t already have one. You should inspect the site to ensure that your contractor is properly securing it, but you should also obtain insurance to cover your property.
