What is Homebuilder's Insurance Coverage?

Homebuilder’s insurance is a comprehensive business insurance solution specifically designed for contractors and homebuilders. This policy combines several essential coverages to protect your business from the unique risks associated with construction projects. It typically includes general liability insurance, which covers lawsuits and accidents that may occur on the job site; builder’s risk insurance, which protects the property and materials under construction from damage or theft; equipment coverage, which helps repair or replace tools and machinery damaged during the project; and workers’ compensation, which provides coverage for employees injured on the job.

At Brabham Griffin Insurance, we can help you customize a homebuilders insurance policy that meets your specific needs, ensuring your business is protected from all angles.

 

Why It Matters: One accident or unexpected issue could derail your project—homebuilders insurance keeps you protected.

General Liability Insurance

This coverage protects against third-party injuries and property damage, safeguarding your business from costly lawsuits. It also helps you meet contract requirements and industry standards, ensuring compliance with legal and financial obligations.

Builder’s Risk Insurance

Designed to protect structures under construction, builder’s risk insurance covers buildings, materials, and foundations from unexpected damage. It provides financial protection against fire, theft, vandalism, and certain weather-related events, helping to keep projects on track.

Contractor’s Liability Enhancements

This extends general liability insurance to offer broader protection, covering additional risks that standard policies may not include. It’s ideal for builders and contractors who need comprehensive coverage beyond basic liability.

Additional Equipment Breakdown Insurance:

Covers repair or replacement costs for essential tools and machinery that unexpectedly fail.

Additional Workers' Compensation

Provides financial protection for employees injured on the job, covering medical expenses and lost wages.

Additional Specialized Coverage

Protects trailers, temporary structures, and even entire subdivisions to ensure all aspects of a project are secured.
