A sudden hailstorm damages roofing materials and breaks windows already installed. The construction site suffers significant damage, but builders risk insurance pays for repairs and replacements.
Fire Coverage
An electrical fire during construction causes $200,000 in damage to buildings under construction. Builders Risk covers the rebuild costs and damaged materials, ensuring the construction or renovation project continues.
