Builders Risk Insurance

Learn more about this coverage.

360° coverage – from the initial sketches to the final touches

The number of risks builders face in their daily work is vast. That’s why we offer broad and uniform ‘all risk’ protection.

It covers construction projects at every phase against any claims made against them – along with any associated property loss or damage.

In essence, we provide the protection, so these firms can focus on their craft. 

Equipment Breakdown Insurance Endorsement

This product is an extension to our main Builders Risk insurance product.

It protects businesses against any physical loss or damage to electrical and mechanical equipment caused by an on-site work accident.

That way, companies have the financial support they need to bounce back from an equipment breakdown loss.

Coverage is available for the following types of projects:

  • Most building project types of fire resistive, non-combustible or masonry construction
  • Civil works projects involving construction of bridges, dams, sewers and watermains, etc.

  • Policy form – “all risk” policy, conforms with CCDC 2 insurance requirements
  • Policy period – usually for the full duration of the project
  • Capacity – projects valued up to $40,000,000
  • “All perils” deductible – starting at $10,000 (higher deductibles apply to major perils such as flood, water damage and earthquake)
  • Minimum premium – $10,000 per policy. Lower minimum premiums are available for projects under $2,000,000 in value that qualify for our small project program
  • Territory – projects in Canada only

  • Coverage is “all risk” in scope, providing a broad and uniform scope of coverage which can be tailored to the particular project, insuring the project owner, all contractors and subcontractors, architects, engineers and other project participants having an insurable interest in the project
  • Coverage is usually provided for property in transit or situated at other locations off-site

  • Perils such as earthquake and flood
  • Soft costs not directly related to construction (financial costs, additional interest expenses, leasing and marketing expenses, legal and accounting expenses, and miscellaneous carrying costs)
