\nWho Buys a Builders Risk Insurance Policy? <\/strong>
\nThe primary policy holders are generally contractors, business owners and homeowners. This insurance is crucial for protecting a project while it’s underway. Incomplete projects are at much more mercy to the elements, theft and vandalism than normal structures. The same goes for equipment that is possibly left overnight at the construction site. This insurance doubles as protection for everyone involved, as it provides compensation for lost or damaged items necessary to complete the project. <\/p>\nIs Builders Risk Insurance Required? <\/strong>
\nConstruction contracts often come with a requirement for builders risk insurance. Replacing a half-constructed home or expensive equipment can be costly, and no one wants to pay for starting over out of pocket. The quicker that compensation can be provided to cover the damages or losses, the quicker the project can be resumed and finished. This is why most businesses will require their contractors or subcontractors to carry builders risk insurance. <\/p>\nHow Much is Builders Risk Insurance? <\/strong>
\nThe cost of builders risk insurance varies depending on several factors, including the aspects of the project being insured. In general, you may pay anywhere between $1,000-$20,000 for a builders risk insurance policy. Other factors that affect these premiums are: <\/p>\n\n\n- \n

Newer construction projects that require breaking ground, excavation, plumbing or other extensive construction may cost more to insure. You may choose to have a higher deductible to lower premium rates, but keep in mind that you will have to pay more up front before receiving reimbursement for a covered incident. <\/p>\n
