Frequently asked questions
Who should carry Rhode Island Builder’s Risk Insurance?
Property owners, developers, contractors, and lenders involved in construction or renovation projects should consider Builder’s Risk Insurance. Projects with significant materials on site or long timelines are especially exposed to loss without this coverage.
When does Builder’s Risk Insurance begin and end?
Coverage usually starts at groundbreaking or when materials enter the job site. It often ends when the project is completed or substantially finished, and the property is ready for use. If there are delays or unforeseen project extensions, coverage may need to be extended or adjusted.
Can Builder’s Risk Insurance cover delay costs or soft costs?
Yes, many policies offer optional coverage for soft costs (like extra architectural, financing, or permit fees) and delay costs (expenses incurred when the project is delayed). Make sure your policy specifies these enhancements if relevant to your project budget.
