What Is Builders Risk Insurance?

Builders risk protects the project you are building, including materials meant for it, against physical loss until construction ends. The gaps that cost owners money are materials in storage or transit, the existing building in a renovation, and coverage ending when you occupy early. 10,11,12,13

Key Differences in Builders Risk Insurance

Multi-Year Placement and Existing Program Review

AIG says it develops domestic, multinational, and multi-year builders risk arrangements. WithCoverage describes a different entry point: reviewing builders risk as part of a construction-program audit and placing or transitioning it if asked. A team with coverage already in force can request WithCoverage’s audit without leaving its broker; a new or complex project can ask AIG to consider the full term and structure. 3 7

Risk Engineering and Broker Audit

AIG describes construction risk engineers, customized service plans, and loss-control reports. WithCoverage says its construction audit typically takes about one business day after it receives policy documents and does not require a client to move brokers. Ask what AIG’s engineering services include and whether WithCoverage’s review identifies gaps in the current builders risk form or only maps the broader program. 3 7

What to Confirm in Builders Risk Insurance Quotes

  • Ask WithCoverage what policy documents it needs and what its one-day audit delivers for builders risk. 3 7
  • Ask AIG what risk-engineering work is available during the project and whether any service is included. 3 7
  • If changing brokers is under consideration, ask WithCoverage what placement and transition steps it proposes and name the insurer. 3 7

AIG vs WithCoverage: Builders Risk Insurance: documented features by provider

CriteriaAIG Builders RiskWithCoverage Builders Risk Program Review (Construction)
Role in This Line

AIG markets Builders Risk as a construction property insurance solution for single projects and master programs. AIG is the marketing name; the page says products are written or provided by AIG subsidiaries or affiliates and does not identify the issuing company for a particular policy. 3Company-reported. AIG’s U.S. Builders Risk product page and its general legal footer. This establishes AIG’s marketed product and issuer structure, not the insurer on an individual quote, binder or policy.

WithCoverage is a broker; it does not underwrite builders risk policies. It reviews builders risk exposure as part of a broader construction insurance-program audit and can place or transition the coverage on a client's behalf. 7,9Company-reported. Construction industry page hero and FAQ; company describes itself as reviewing and placing coverage, not bearing the risk.

Issuing Insurer

Confirm in your quote.

The reviewed pages do not name which insurer or insurers WithCoverage places builders risk coverage with; the terms say policy obligations are the responsibility of the issuing insurance company, whoever that is for a given account. 7,9Not found in reviewed sources. Construction page and terms as read on 2026-09-23.

Who It’s For

The page describes solutions for a range of construction projects, including small, mid-sized and complex projects, and says AIG develops domestic, multinational and multi-year arrangements. It also describes customized options for wood-frame structures. These are marketed capabilities, not eligibility guarantees. 3Company-reported. Project types and program configurations stated on AIG’s U.S. Builders Risk page. The page does not provide a complete underwriting appetite or state-by-state availability schedule.

WithCoverage's construction practice serves contractors and developers with active construction programs, including general contractors, trade contractors and developers. 7,8Company-reported. Construction industry page and risk-advisors Vin spotlight.

Coverage Features

AIG describes tailoring project coverage to construction risks and gives an example of arranging coverage for a project standstill and an extension for the expected remaining project term. These examples do not establish that any buyer is entitled to a standstill extension or that it is included in a policy. 3Company-reported. AIG’s illustrative Builders Risk marketing examples. The page directs interested buyers to the actual policy for coverage scope, limitations, terms, conditions and exclusions.

Confirm in your quote.

Limits and Retentions

The reviewed product page does not state a standard policy limit, deductible or retention. AIG says coverage depends on the actual policy language; confirm the applicable amounts and conditions in the quote and issued policy. 3Not publicly disclosed. AIG’s U.S. Builders Risk marketing page as reviewed on 2026-09-30. No buyer-specific quote, declarations or policy form was reviewed; this is not a finding that such terms are unavailable from AIG.

Confirm in your quote.

Risk Services

AIG says its risk engineers can work with clients on loss-prevention improvements and customized service plans, including loss-control reports. The page describes these as risk services and does not make them policy coverage or a guaranteed loss outcome. 3Company-reported. Company-described services on the U.S. Builders Risk page; availability for a particular account is not specified.

WithCoverage says it builds coverage for project risks that it says off-the-shelf builders risk forms miss, working directly with construction clients rather than offering a standard packaged form. 8Company-reported. Risk-advisors Vin spotlight; company description of its practice approach, not a specific completed engagement.

How to Apply

Confirm in your quote.

WithCoverage says a construction program audit, which it lists as covering General Liability, Product Liability, Workers' Comp, Property and umbrella alongside Builder's Risk in the page hero, is offered at no cost and without requiring a client to leave its current broker, typically completed in about one business day after receiving policy documents. 7Company-reported. Construction page FAQ; the itemized audit-scope answer does not repeat "Builder's Risk" by name even though the page hero does.

Claims Support

AIG states that, after property-damage coverage is confirmed, it promises working funds equal to 50% of its share of the agreed property-damage estimate within seven days. This is AIG’s stated claim-funding service condition; the page does not make it a general claim-payment deadline or establish policy entitlement for every loss. 3Company-reported. Conditional company statement on the Builders Risk page. It applies only as described there and remains subject to the actual policy and claim circumstances.
