Looking for Builders Risk Insurance in Lake Orion?
Looking for a builders’ risk (BR) quote in our area? We have some of the best carriers in the area that offer builders’ risk coverage!
A builders’ risk policy is a form of commercial property insurance which covers a building that is under construction or being heavily renovated/remodeled. It typically covers just the structure or you can add materials on site waiting to be installed or materials being transported to the site. There are many additional coverage options to add! The policy will pay for damages to the structure up to the policy limit. The limit must accurately reflect the total completed value of the structure (all materials and labor costs included, but not including the value of the land).
You can often purchase a BR policy in terms of three months, six months or twelve months. Coming close to your current BR term ending? That’s ok. You can request an extension. These are on an approval only basis and must be requested well in advance of the 12 month deadline to avoid a lapse in coverage but typically the carrier allows for a three month extension but this varies based on job size, completed value amount and other underwriting requirements and again, is only available upon approval.
Are you a homeowner that has already started a project and realized that your homeowners policy doesn’t cover major renovation projects? We have a carrier for you! Contact us today to see if you qualify for a BR project that has already gotten started!
