Is Homeowners Insurance Enough? A Builders Risk Coverage Comparison

Overview

Homeowners policies typically don’t cover the scope of risks insured by a builders risk policy, which can lead to coverage gaps and serious financial implications should a loss occur.

This comparison guide from US Assure* will help agents and CSRs identify core differences between homeowners policies and builders risk insurance, including:

  • Standard coverages for both policies
  • How common coverages differ in scope
  • Where coverage gaps could exist
  • Consequences of underinsured losses

Don’t let homeowners go blindly into new construction or remodeling. Leverage this information to educate them about the financial risk they face without the right protection.
