Protect Your Construction Project with the Right Coverage
Building a new home or completing a major renovation is an exciting process, but it also brings added exposure while the work is underway. Builder’s risk insurance is designed to help protect residential construction projects during the build. At Southshore Insurance, we help Florida property owners secure builder’s risk insurance that supports their project from the ground up.
Why Builder’s Risk Insurance Matters for Your Project
Whether you are overseeing the construction of a custom home or managing extensive renovations, builder’s risk insurance helps protect your investment while the property is unfinished. Florida’s weather and environmental conditions make this coverage especially important. Builder’s risk insurance can help protect against:
- Damage to the structure
Coverage for building materials and the structure itself during construction, including damage caused by fire, storms, theft, or vandalism. - Weather-related risks
Protection for damage related to Florida conditions such as high winds, storms, and certain types of flooding where covered. - Theft and vandalism
Coverage for stolen materials, supplies, or equipment, as well as vandalism at the construction site. - Injuries on the job site
Protection related to injuries involving workers or contractors during construction. - Accidental damage
Coverage for unexpected damage that can occur during construction, including incidents involving equipment or materials.
Because a property under construction faces different risks than a completed home, builder’s risk insurance plays an important role in protecting your project during each phase of the build.
What Does Builder’s Risk Insurance Cover?
Builder’s risk insurance is designed to help protect a construction project while work is in progress. Coverage focuses on risks that can arise before a home or renovation is complete. Common coverage areas include:
- Property damage coverage
Helps cover damage to the structure under construction, including the foundation, framing, roof, and other components being built or installed. - Materials coverage
Protection for construction materials that have been purchased but not yet installed, such as lumber, plumbing supplies, electrical components, and roofing materials. - Weather-related damage
Coverage for damage caused by storms, hurricanes, and other weather events, an important consideration for construction projects in Florida. - Theft and vandalism
Protection for stolen materials, tools, or equipment, as well as damage caused by vandalism at the job site. - Fire coverage
Coverage for fire-related damage during construction, even before the structure is fully enclosed or operational. - Extended coverage options
Additional coverage may be available for items such as equipment breakdowns or certain subcontractor-related risks.
