Builders Risk Insurance

Builder’s risk insurance is a type of property insurance that protects the owner or builder of a property under construction, from losses due to events such as fire, hail, windstorms, vandalism, riots, theft, earthquakes, etc.

Builder’s risk insurance can cover many types of properties including homes, apartment buildings, commercial buildings, and warehouses.

Buildings under construction, buildings with multiple units under construction, buildings undergoing major renovations, new buildings not yet occupied, and vacant buildings are all examples of properties that may need builder’s risk coverage.

Looking for the best builders risk provider? Prime Insurance Company should be at the top of your list. Our partnership approach requires that we speak with the producer and the insured so we can better understand everyone’s needs in order to provide the right coverage, the right service, and most importantly, a healthy relationship.

A lot of people go with cheaper markets that will cost them and their insured more in the long run! Over the past years, many of the cheaper markets have run into trouble, gone broke, or stopped writing. As a result, Prime is writing more business and we remain committed to doing it right! Insureds need a more efficient builder’s risk insurance company and a better partner that’s willing to fight frivolous lawsuits practiced by legal professionals nationwide.

In short, Prime won’t compete with your other markets from a premium standpoint, but we will help you write the business you are turning away today. Plus, we’ll be by your side when a claim or lawsuit is filed against you.
