CONSTRUCTION COVERAGE

Builders risk policies protect developers, project owners, or general contractors involved in new builds or renovations projects. Common properties could include commercial buildings, townhomes or strata’s.

Policies are intended to cover the replacement cost of a project if damages or losses occur during or before completion of a project. Various coverage options are available for builders risk policies including blanket coverage extended for multiple projects, or single project coverage should there be a single location. Common coverage limits include hard cost, soft cost, and others.
