Builder’s Risk Insurance Protects Your Investment.
At Buffalo River Log Homes, we understand the excitement that comes with constructing your dream home. However, we also recognize the potential challenges that may arise during the building process. That’s why we strongly recommend considering builder’s risk insurance to safeguard your investment during this crucial phase.
What is Builder’s Risk Insurance?
Builder’s risk insurance acts as a financial safety net for your new home while it’s under construction. It covers a variety of potential damages, including:
- Fire: Protection against accidental fires that could lead to significant financial losses during construction.
- High Winds: Coverage for damage caused by strong winds to the structure, on-site materials, and temporary constructions such as scaffolding.
- Vandalism: Assistance with repair or replacement costs resulting from vandalism during the construction phase.
What’s Not Covered?
It’s essential to understand the limitations of builder’s risk insurance, as it typically excludes damages caused by:
- Earthquakes: Comprehensive coverage often requires separate earthquake insurance.
- Floods: Depending on your geographical area and flood risk, additional flood insurance may be necessary.
- Acts of War: Standard policies generally exclude these events.
- Intentional Acts by the Owner: Damages resulting from deliberate actions by the homeowner are not covered.
Benefits of Builder’s Risk Insurance
Builder’s risk insurance offers several key advantages, such as:
- Peace of Mind: Knowing that your investment is protected from unexpected events allows you to focus on the joy of home construction.
- Financial Security: Should a covered incident occur, the insurance helps cover repair or replacement costs, reducing out-of-pocket expenses.
- Fulfillment of Contractual Obligations: Some lenders or builders may require proof of builder’s risk insurance for financing or construction agreements.
