Looking for Builders Risk Insurance in the Mount Pleasant area?

Builder’s Risk Insurance, which some refer to as Course of Construction Insurance, is a form of commercial property insurance that can cover a building where the building or insured area is presently being constructed or heavily remodeled.

It can cover just the structure, or also the materials on-site waiting to be installed or transported to the job site.

The builder's risk insurance policy will potentially pay for damages up to the coverage limit in the policy. The limit must accurately reflect the total completed value of the structure (all materials and labor costs, but not including land value).

The construction budget is the best source for determining the appropriate limit of insurance.

Builder’s Risk insurance policies can often be purchased in terms of three-months, six-months, or 12-months. If the project is not completed by the end of the initial policy term, it can often be extended, but usually only one time.

How much does a Builder's Risk Insurance cost?

The builder's risk policy can provide coverage for damage done to the insured structure from a wide variety of events.

Damage from the following events can be covered by most policies:

  • Fire
  • Wind (may be limited in coastal areas)
  • Theft
  • Lightning
  • Hail
  • Explosion
  • Vandalism
  • Vehicles/Aircraft
