Insurance that protects a building while it's being built.
Builder's risk insurance is a specialized form of property insurance that covers a building under construction against damage from events such as fire, wind, vandalism, and theft. The policy typically covers the structure, materials on-site, and materials in transit. Coverage begins at the start of construction and ends when the project is substantially complete and occupied.
A developer purchases a builder's risk policy before breaking ground on a $10 million office building to protect against fire or storm damage during the 18-month construction period.
