Builders Risk Insurance
Builders Risk Insurance for Construction Projects
What Is Builders Risk Insurance?
Builders risk insurance, sometimes called course of construction coverage, is a specialized property policy that protects buildings and structures while they are being constructed, renovated, or remodeled. The policy covers the structure itself, building materials, supplies, and equipment that will become a permanent part of the finished project. Standard commercial property insurance does not cover property under construction, and a general liability policy only addresses third-party claims, not damage to the project itself. Builders risk fills this critical gap from groundbreaking through project completion.
Construction in the Seattle area and across Washington State faces unique environmental challenges, including heavy rainfall, high winds, and occasional seismic activity. A single storm, fire, or theft can derail a project timeline and devastate your budget. Anker Insurance provides builders risk coverage tailored to the size and scope of your project, whether you are building a custom home, a multi-unit residential development, or a commercial tenant improvement. Our agents help you secure the right coverage limits, endorsements, and policy terms so you can build with confidence.
