Builders risk insurance provides essential coverage, but certain exclusions apply. Standard policies typically do not cover natural disasters like floods, earthquakes, or hurricanes unless specifically endorsed. Workplace accidents, including employee injuries or liability claims, are also excluded. Additionally, losses due to negligence or faulty workmanship are not covered.
To avoid surprises, review policy exclusions carefully and ask about optional add-ons to fill any coverage gaps.
Common mistakes include underinsuring the project, overlooking policy exclusions, and forgetting to cover soft costs like delays and indirect expenses.
