Builders risk may cover stored materials at an approved temporary location, subject to separate location limits and conditions. Materials in storage may be covered if the warehouse is an approved temporary location; the cited ISO form treats storage locations and limits separately from the jobsite. Oregon’s installation floater guidance likewise discusses temporary storage for materials intended to be installed in the building. Tell the insurer where materials will be kept and how long, rather than relying on an assumption that storage follows the jobsite schedule. Check the definition of temporary storage, location-specific cap, security safeguards, transit to and from the warehouse, and whether property must be reported or scheduled. Ask the storage facility whether it assumes responsibility for customer goods and request its certificate or contract terms; do not treat the facility’s insurance as automatically covering your interest. On your quote, verify which storage addresses qualify as temporary locations, how long property can remain there, how the limit applies per location, and whether theft or water damage has a separate cap. ## More Questions About Builders Risk Insurance - [Does Builders Risk Cover Existing Structures?](https://thegeneralaverage.com/insurance-faq/builders-risk/does-builders-risk-cover-existing-structures) - [Does Builders Risk Cover An Existing Building?](https://thegeneralaverage.com/insurance-faq/builders-risk/does-builders-risk-cover-an-existing-building) - [Does Builders Risk Cover Renovations?](https://thegeneralaverage.com/insurance-faq/builders-risk/does-builders-risk-cover-renovations) - [Does Builders Risk Cover Liability?](https://thegeneralaverage.com/insurance-faq/builders-risk/does-builders-risk-cover-liability) ## Coverage Guides Related to Builders Risk Insurance - [Builders risk](https://thegeneralaverage.com/coverage/builders-risk) ## Sources for This Answer 1.
