Builders Risk Insurance

When a property is mid-construction, it’s at its most vulnerable. Incomplete structures lack the physical protections of finished buildings, leaving them open to a range of unexpected setbacks.

From unsecured job sites to unpredictable weather, these projects face risks like:

  • Sudden storms damaging partially built frameworks
  • Theft of high-value tools and materials left overnight
  • Vandalism or accidents before the structure is enclosed

Builders Risk Insurance helps cover the financial fallout from these events—so you can keep building with confidence, even when the unexpected hits.

For broader protection, many builders also consider:

What’s Included in Your Coverage

Builders Risk Insurance is designed to cover specific aspects of your construction project. Here’s what a typical policy includes:

  • Structural Coverage:

    Insurance for the building or structure while it’s being constructed, from foundation to final touches.

  • General Liability:

    Coverage that helps protect against third-party injury claims on the job site.

  • Equipment & Materials Coverage:

    Protection for the construction materials, tools, and equipment stored or used on-site during the project.

Each policy can be customized to match the size and scope of your project—so you’re only paying for the protection you actually need.

Why Builders Risk Insurance is Essential

Every construction project brings challenges, from unpredictable risks to the high stakes of meeting deadlines. Builders Risk Insurance provides the protection you need to keep your project running smoothly, no matter what comes your way.

  • Secure Your Investment: Construction sites are full of valuable materials, equipment, and partially completed work—all vulnerable to theft, weather damage, or vandalism. Builders Risk Insurance protects these assets, ensuring your hard work and resources are safe.

  • Stay on Schedule and Budget: Unforeseen incidents, like storms or site accidents, can lead to costly delays and interruptions. This insurance offers the financial support to recover quickly, minimizing downtime and helping you meet your deadlines.

  • Comply with Contracts and Lenders: Many stakeholders, including lenders and clients, require Builders Risk Insurance before funding or approval. By securing this coverage, you demonstrate your commitment to risk management and project reliability.

  • Focus on What You Do Best: With Builders Risk Insurance in place, you can concentrate on delivering top-quality results without worrying about the unexpected. It’s the peace of mind that lets you focus on building success.

Builders Risk Insurance is more than just protection—it’s an investment in the stability and success of your construction project. Contact Adamson Insurance today to design a plan that suits your needs and shields what matters most.
