What Is Builder’s Risk Insurance?

In a typical homeowner’s insurance or business policy, it would be unusual to have enough coverage to replace your priceless collectibles should they become lost or damaged. Your dedicated fine arts insurance agent will work with you to provide coverage that is based on the true value of your items so that your irreplaceable goods may be provided for.

Builder’s risk insurance coverage may include protection for:

  • Building materials
  • Fixtures
  • Appliances
  • Anything that is intended to be part of the structure

Coverage limits will reflect the completed value of the structure, taking into account materials and labor but not the land on which it is situated. These policies are generally written to reflect a period of time, such as three months, six months or twelve months, but can be extended if the project is not completed on time.
