Builders Risk News Roundup: September 2023

1) Frame Appetite

Zurich will consider single-structure frame projects up to $25 million, including all exposed values at the project site. This means any additional endorsements (i.e., soft costs, business income) must be included in the project value.

For multiple structures, the limit is extended to $35 million, but the same condition applies.

2) Underwriting Considerations

Frame construction is more vulnerable to exposures, so eligibility is based on factors such as protection class, time to complete the project, occupancy and job site security.

3) Online Submissions

Applications for frame projects should be started online. Depending on the value and other project variables, the account will flow through our system or go on hold for underwriter review before a quote can be provided.
