What builder’s risk insurance covers

Builder’s risk (also called course of construction) insurance protects a structure while it is being built or renovated, including materials and equipment on site, in storage or in transit, depending on the policy. Common covered causes include fire, wind, hail, theft, vandalism and certain water losses. Coverage generally ends when the project is completed, accepted or occupied.

What makes these claims complicated

  • Many parties. Owners, general contractors, subcontractors and lenders can all have an interest in the policy and in the payment.
  • Faulty workmanship and design exclusions. Many policies exclude the defective work itself, while ensuing damage may still be covered, and the line between them is often disputed.
  • Water losses. Rain intrusion, burst pipes and testing-related leaks are frequent claims and frequent disputes.
  • Delay in completion. Soft costs such as extended financing, permits and lost rents are covered only if the policy includes that coverage.
  • Documentation. Schedules, daily logs, invoices and progress photos decide how much of the loss can be proven.

What to do after a builder’s risk loss

  • Secure the site and stop further damage where it is safe to do so.
  • Notify the insurer, and any broker or lender the policy requires you to notify, promptly.
  • Photograph the damage and gather the schedule, contracts, daily logs and change orders.
  • Separate damaged work from undamaged work in your cost records.
  • Keep receipts for temporary protection and expedited materials.

How Mission PLC helps

We read the policy and contract documents, coordinate with your contractor and project team, quantify the physical damage and the schedule impact, and present the claim to the carrier in a form that is hard to dismiss. If you and the insurer cannot agree, we can help you evaluate options such as appraisal.

Builder’s risk claim questions

Who files the builder’s risk claim, the owner or the contractor?

It depends on who purchased the policy and who is named as an insured. The policy and contract will say, and a public adjuster can help sort out who should file.

Are delay costs covered?

Only if the policy includes delay in completion or soft cost coverage, and then subject to its waiting period and limits.

Is a construction defect covered?

Usually the defective work itself is excluded, but damage that results from it may be covered. This is one of the most contested areas, so get the policy reviewed early.

This page is general information, not legal or insurance advice. What is covered depends on your specific policy, its endorsements and your state’s rules.
