5 Items we need to get you a Quote

There are five (5) main factors that drive premium for both new construction and remodeling.

Location – Where you decide to build/remodel will have impact on premium. Why? The main reason why is weather and natural disaster related losses. If you are building in an area that has a higher chance of fire loss, the insurance carrier will rate the risk higher on premiums.

Construction Type – Homes that are block or concrete construction are deemed to be of higher quality than frame home. These higher quality homes can withstand natural disasters better than the more common frame-built homes.

Project Type – Pricing is dependent on the type of project, new construction or remodeling. Remodeling tends to be rated higher than new construction. Why? Moving of load-bearing walls or electrical updates pose a higher chance of loss to the insurance company.

Optional Coverages – All builders risk policies are customizable to your specific needs. You can add coverages such as:

• Earthquake damage
• Flood damage
• Business income
• Materials in transit
• Materials in storage

Fees and Taxes – Not all insurance companies are licensed on an admitted basis in every state. When they are not, they are referred to has a non-admitted carrier and are subject to additional fees and taxes.

Understanding Premise Liability – Optional Coverage

Premise Liability is a separate policy that can be purchased in conjunction with your builders’ risk policy. It is designed to protect owners from exposures such as a slip and fall on premise during the course of construction. Should someone sustain an injury that the owner is found at-fault, the insurance company will pay direct damage for medical aid to the injured person and legal fees.
