Palm Beach Builders Risk Insurance
How to Adequately Protect Property in the Course of Construction

Palm Beach Florida Construction Projects Involve Unique Risks Construction projects include unique risks not specifically handled by other insurance policies because buildings under construction are more subject to damage from the elements such as snow, rain, wind and hail than completed structures. Another big issue is that construction property projects values do not remain consistent throughout the duration of the policy. Instead, the insured value of a construction project starts out small in the early stages of the job and continually increases until project completion. Also, the property may be owned by the general contractor, the subs or property owner. The property can be in transit at the construction site or even off-site. To cover these unusual exposures, a Builder's risk insurance policy is required. These are specialized policies designed to cover the property loss exposures that go along with construction projects in Palm Beach Florida. Who Is Responsible For Purchasing Builders Risk Insurance? The "Insurance requirement" sides of the contract will specify whether the the general contractor or project owner is responsible for assuring there is a Builders Risk policy.
