Builders Risk Insurance
What is Builder's Risk Insurance?
Builder's Risk Insurance covers the structure of a single-family residential project in case of fire, hail, wind, vandalism and theft of materials that will become permanent parts of the structure. This includes things like windows, lumber, appliances, HVAC, etc.
Why should I have Builder's Risk Insurance?
Rather than relying on your clients to secure builder's risk insurance and keep track of the policies, you can purchase the policy for each of your projects and include it in the overall cost. Add a new tool to your wheelhouse and confidently tell clients that you can build their home and provide a builder's risk insurance policy, ensuring security.
Why is important for me to purchase BRI?
When you purchase the policy, you also control the claim process. If a client purchases the policy, sometimes they are reluctant to turn in a claim as it may have a negative impact on their future rates, which could lead to difficulty in getting simple issues paid for and resolved. Purchasing your builder's risk policy through Buildertrend takes that issue away.
Is there a fee?
