Builders Risk News Roundup: June 2023

June 1, 2023

Natural disasters are impacting course of construction more than ever. A wide range of named perils are standard to our policy, including but not limited to fire, lightning, collapse, wind and hail storms.

That’s not all. Here are a few optional endorsements that can be added to residential and commercial one-shot builders risk policies valued up to $75 million.

1) Flood Endorsement

Coverage for flood damage is available in many locations and can be added through an endorsement.

2) Earthquake Endorsement

Coverage is available in many locations. It covers loss or damage caused in any one occurrence up to the Earthquake Limit of Insurance and any loss or damage caused by fire or explosion due to the quake.

3) Named Storm Deductible

The named storm deductible is available for purchase. This endorsement recognizes a named storm event where this deductible is applicable should a loss occur. If a non-named wind event occurred, the “all other peril” deductible will apply to the covered loss.

These optional coverages can be selected during the online submission process at usassure.com. Should you have questions about any one of them, talk to a member of our team at (800) 800 – 3907.
