For one provider's whole Builders Risk Insurance product use its offering page; for the coverage explainer use /coverage/builders-risk. **Questions this page answers:** - What is the best builders risk insurance for contractors? - Which providers offer Builders Risk Insurance for contractors? - What should contractors check before buying Builders Risk Insurance? **Key facts:** - Coverage line `builders-risk`; segment `contractors`. - Every listed provider has a documented claim in its offering record that names the segment; the rank orders them by the mean of Reliability Score and Review Score, with fit as a gate rather than a weight. **Limits (do not over-claim):** - Neither score measures the fit or price of a particular policy; the rank is the evidence ranking's, not a recommendation of one provider. - Not insurance, legal or financial advice, and not a quote, binder or offer of coverage. - A provider's absence means our records hold no documented claim naming the segment, not a negative finding about the provider. **Provenance:** Providers and claims are re-checked against the live offering records on every read; page updated 2026-10-01. **Related pages:** - [Builders Risk Insurance guide](https://thegeneralaverage.com/coverage/builders-risk) — coverage explainer for the line - [Best Builders Risk Insurance by business type](https://thegeneralaverage.com/best/builders-risk) — parent: other segments for this line # Best Builders Risk Insurance for Contractors (2026) Coverage line: Builders Risk Insurance. Buyer segment: Contractors. Providers ranked: 8. ## Quick Answer For contractors, builders risk starts with the contract: it decides whether the owner or you buy the policy and who pays the deductible. Then check when coverage ends if the job runs long, how subcontractors are covered, and what the standard form leaves out, including your own tools and equipment.

Providers with both a Reliability Score and a Review Score rank first, then providers with one of the two, then providers with neither. Within each group the order is the equal-weight average of the scores the provider has, as in the industry guides; ties break on fit, then the number of documented claims, then name. The Reliability Score comes from Spot’s reliability assessments and the Review Score from the provider’s rated review sources. Neither measures whether a policy fits your business or what it costs. Spot, a product of Tools for Enlightenment, publishes this research and works in the commercial insurance market. [Editorial policy](https://thegeneralaverage.com/editorial-policy). ## What Do Contractors Need From Builders Risk Insurance? The contract decides who buys it. AIA Contract Documents says usually, but not always, the owner buys the builders risk policy, and that the owner and contractor may decide the contractor is better placed to buy it, in which case the owner typically reimburses the premium. Public contracts go both ways: Washington's state facility general conditions and Texas's uniform general conditions, where builders risk applies, have the contractor buy the policy, while New York's general conditions have the State provide it. [1](https://learn.aiacontracts.com/articles/how-to-manage-risk-using-construction-insurance-bonds-part-2-builders-risk/ "Builder's Risk Insurance in Construction: What You Need to Know") [2](https://www.cwu.edu/about/offices/facilities/_documents/cwu-general-conditions.pdf "General Conditions for Washington State Facility Construction (Section 00 72 00, effective June 11, 2020)") [3](https://www.tfc.texas.gov/divisions/facilities/prog/construct/formsindex/2015%20UGC%2003.07.2017.Final.pdf "2015 Uniform General Conditions (file dated 03.07.2017)") [4](https://online2.ogs.ny.gov/dnc/masterspec04/docs/Division00ProcurementAndContractingRequirements/007213GeneralConditionsStandardContract.pdf "General Conditions (Section 007213)") Your subcontractors should be on the policy. Texas's uniform general conditions require the policy to be written jointly in the names of the owner and contractor with subcontractors named as additional insureds. Washington's contract covers the interests of owner, contractor and subcontractors, and the owner and contractor waive subrogation rights against each other and the subcontractors for damage covered by the property insurance. Sonoma County's risk guide says most experts recommend a single builders policy cover the owner, general contractor and all subcontractors. [2](https://www.cwu.edu/about/offices/facilities/_documents/cwu-general-conditions.pdf "General Conditions for Washington State Facility Construction (Section 00 72 00, effective June 11, 2020)") [3](https://www.tfc.texas.gov/divisions/facilities/prog/construct/formsindex/2015%20UGC%2003.07.2017.Final.pdf "2015 Uniform General Conditions (file dated 03.07.2017)") [9](https://sonomacounty.gov/administrative-support-and-fiscal-services/human-resources/divisions-and-units/liability-and-insurance/insurance/help-and-support/contract-insurance-requirements-reference-guide/builders-risk "Builders Risk (Contract Insurance Requirements Reference Guide)") ## Which Builders Risk Exposures Do Contractors Face? A late job can outrun the policy. In ISO's specimen builders risk form, coverage ends on triggers that include policy expiry, acceptance by the purchaser and, unless the insurer specifies otherwise, 90 days after construction is complete or 60 days after a building is occupied or put to its intended use. One program's tip sheet says renewals are not automatic and that an unfinished project may be renewed after more underwriting review. New York's contract requires policies expiring before physical completion to be renewed and re-filed at least thirty days before expiry. [4](https://online2.ogs.ny.gov/dnc/masterspec04/docs/Division00ProcurementAndContractingRequirements/007213GeneralConditionsStandardContract.pdf "General Conditions (Section 007213)") [6](https://assets.touchpointmarkets.com/e8/58/dec27c1b462c8227b4693fb8ac81/ih-00-70-05-17-builders-risk-coverage-form.pdf "Builders Risk Coverage Form IH 00 70 05 17 (specimen)") [7](https://go.usassure.com/rs/381-ISO-510/images/us-assure-builders-risk-application-tip-sheet.pdf "Builders Risk Application Tip Sheet (policies insured by Zurich American Insurance Company)") In ISO's specimen, your tools and the existing building are not covered property. Its list of property not covered includes existing buildings or structures to which improvements, alterations, repairs or additions are being made, and contractor's equipment and tools. Ask who insures the existing structure on a remodel and what covers your equipment. [6](https://assets.touchpointmarkets.com/e8/58/dec27c1b462c8227b4693fb8ac81/ih-00-70-05-17-builders-risk-coverage-form.pdf "Builders Risk Coverage Form IH 00 70 05 17 (specimen)") The cost of fixing your own work and some weather and theft losses are outside the form. The specimen excludes faulty or defective workmanship, design and materials but pays for loss that a covered cause of loss then produces. It also excludes rain that enters before the exterior is complete, delay and consequential loss, and theft from an unattended vehicle unless it was locked and there are visible signs of forced entry. Sonoma County's guide describes the same split: the cost of making good defective work is excluded, damage resulting from it is covered. [6](https://assets.touchpointmarkets.com/e8/58/dec27c1b462c8227b4693fb8ac81/ih-00-70-05-17-builders-risk-coverage-form.pdf "Builders Risk Coverage Form IH 00 70 05 17 (specimen)") [9](https://sonomacounty.gov/administrative-support-and-fiscal-services/human-resources/divisions-and-units/liability-and-insurance/insurance/help-and-support/contract-insurance-requirements-reference-guide/builders-risk "Builders Risk (Contract Insurance Requirements Reference Guide)") You may carry the deductible. Virginia's general conditions let the owner include a deductible in the supplemental conditions, in which case the contractor is liable for it whenever a claim arises, and New York's contract makes the contractor liable for the applicable deductible on losses covered by the State's policy. Read the deductible clause before you bid. [4](https://online2.ogs.ny.gov/dnc/masterspec04/docs/Division00ProcurementAndContractingRequirements/007213GeneralConditionsStandardContract.pdf "General Conditions (Section 007213)") [5](https://dgs.virginia.gov/globalassets/business-units/bcom/documents/forms/dgs-30-054_02-22_co-7.pdf "General Conditions of the Construction Contract (DGS-30-054 CO-7, 02/22)") ## What Should Contractors Check Before Buying Builders Risk Insurance? Get the deductible and its basis in writing. One program's tip sheet says a percent deductible is calculated on total completed value under one of its coverage forms and on the values at risk at the time of the loss under another, so the same percentage produces different amounts. Ask which basis applies and compare it with what the contract makes you pay. [7](https://go.usassure.com/rs/381-ISO-510/images/us-assure-builders-risk-application-tip-sheet.pdf "Builders Risk Application Tip Sheet (policies insured by Zurich American Insurance Company)") Describe the project as it stands. One insurer's submission list asks for a project description, statement of values, locations and limits. One program says projects over 30 percent complete at submission need more underwriting review, and that modifying an existing structure, including adding to it, counts as remodeling. Tell the broker what is already built. [7](https://go.usassure.com/rs/381-ISO-510/images/us-assure-builders-risk-application-tip-sheet.pdf "Builders Risk Application Tip Sheet (policies insured by Zurich American Insurance Company)") [8](https://www.chubb.com/us-en/business-insurance/builders-risk-insurance.html "Builders' Risk Insurance") Ask what pays if the job is late. The specimen excludes delay, and its contractual penalties cover applies only if the first named insured is the general contractor, only for penalties resulting from physical loss that delays completion, up to a default limit of $10,000 unless the declarations show another. One insurer says its form offers delay in opening cover, with soft costs in the submission, and contract penalty cover after a covered physical loss. [6](https://assets.touchpointmarkets.com/e8/58/dec27c1b462c8227b4693fb8ac81/ih-00-70-05-17-builders-risk-coverage-form.pdf "Builders Risk Coverage Form IH 00 70 05 17 (specimen)") [8](https://www.chubb.com/us-en/business-insurance/builders-risk-insurance.html "Builders' Risk Insurance") Ask for the actual form. Sonoma County's guide says ISO publishes a builders risk form but its coverage is limited and seldom used, that most insurers write their own forms, and that coverage differs between insurers. A specimen tells you what to ask, not what your policy says. [9](https://sonomacounty.gov/administrative-support-and-fiscal-services/human-resources/divisions-and-units/liability-and-insurance/insurance/help-and-support/contract-insurance-requirements-reference-guide/builders-risk "Builders Risk (Contract Insurance Requirements Reference Guide)") ## What Do Contractors Ask About Builders Risk Insurance? ### Who Buys Builders Risk Insurance: Contractors or Owners? It depends on the contract. AIA says usually the owner, but the parties may agree the contractor buys it; Washington's and Texas's state contracts require the contractor to buy, and New York's provides the policy. Read the insurance article of each contract. [1](https://learn.aiacontracts.com/articles/how-to-manage-risk-using-construction-insurance-bonds-part-2-builders-risk/ "Builder's Risk Insurance in Construction: What You Need to Know") [2](https://www.cwu.edu/about/offices/facilities/_documents/cwu-general-conditions.pdf "General Conditions for Washington State Facility Construction (Section 00 72 00, effective June 11, 2020)") [3](https://www.tfc.texas.gov/divisions/facilities/prog/construct/formsindex/2015%20UGC%2003.07.2017.Final.pdf "2015 Uniform General Conditions (file dated 03.07.2017)") [4](https://online2.ogs.ny.gov/dnc/masterspec04/docs/Division00ProcurementAndContractingRequirements/007213GeneralConditionsStandardContract.pdf "General Conditions (Section 007213)") ### Does Builders Risk Cover Contractors' Tools and Equipment? Not in ISO's specimen form, which lists contractor's equipment and tools among property not covered. Ask about a contractors equipment policy, a type of inland marine cover. [6](https://assets.touchpointmarkets.com/e8/58/dec27c1b462c8227b4693fb8ac81/ih-00-70-05-17-builders-risk-coverage-form.pdf "Builders Risk Coverage Form IH 00 70 05 17 (specimen)") ### Does Builders Risk Cover Contractors for Faulty Workmanship? Partly. The specimen excludes faulty or defective workmanship itself but pays for loss that a covered cause of loss then produces. Ask how your quote treats rework and resulting damage. [6](https://assets.touchpointmarkets.com/e8/58/dec27c1b462c8227b4693fb8ac81/ih-00-70-05-17-builders-risk-coverage-form.pdf "Builders Risk Coverage Form IH 00 70 05 17 (specimen)") [9](https://sonomacounty.gov/administrative-support-and-fiscal-services/human-resources/divisions-and-units/liability-and-insurance/insurance/help-and-support/contract-insurance-requirements-reference-guide/builders-risk "Builders Risk (Contract Insurance Requirements Reference Guide)") ### What Happens When Contractors' Projects Run Past the Builders Risk Term? Coverage can lapse unless the policy is renewed or extended. The specimen ends coverage when the policy expires, and one program's tip sheet says renewals are not automatic and may need more underwriting review. Ask your broker about extensions well before expiry. [6](https://assets.touchpointmarkets.com/e8/58/dec27c1b462c8227b4693fb8ac81/ih-00-70-05-17-builders-risk-coverage-form.pdf "Builders Risk Coverage Form IH 00 70 05 17 (specimen)") [7](https://go.usassure.com/rs/381-ISO-510/images/us-assure-builders-risk-application-tip-sheet.pdf "Builders Risk Application Tip Sheet (policies insured by Zurich American Insurance Company)") ## Related Reading - [Best Business Owner’s Policy for Contractors](https://thegeneralaverage.com/best/business-owners-policy/contractors) - [Best General Liability Insurance for Contractors](https://thegeneralaverage.com/best/general-liability/contractors) - [Best Inland Marine Insurance for Contractors](https://thegeneralaverage.com/best/inland-marine/contractors) - [Best Surety Bonds for Contractors](https://thegeneralaverage.com/best/surety-bonds/contractors) - [Best Umbrella and Excess Liability Insurance for Contractors](https://thegeneralaverage.com/best/umbrella-excess/contractors) - [Best Workers’ Compensation Insurance for Contractors](https://thegeneralaverage.com/best/workers-compensation/contractors) - [Construction Insurance Guide](https://thegeneralaverage.com/industries/construction) - [Coverage Guide: Builders Risk Insurance](https://thegeneralaverage.com/coverage/builders-risk) - [All Best Builders Risk Insurance Pages](https://thegeneralaverage.com/best/builders-risk) ## Sources 1.
