# How Do You Choose the Best Builders Risk Insurance?

The best builders risk policy is the one that accepts your project and meets your contract requirements at terms you can afford.

The best builders risk policy is the one that accepts your project and meets your contract requirements at terms you can afford. Compare eligibility, covered property, limits, exclusions, deductibles, and service using the complete proposals. Builders risk proposals can differ in project eligibility, covered property, limits, deductibles, and treatment of existing structures, storage, transit, occupancy, and extensions. The specimen ISO form and California Department of Insurance guide illustrate how forms and endorsements define those details.

Ask who the insurer is, which entity will issue the policy in your state, and whether the producer is licensed for the placement. The California guide recommends verifying a broker-agent’s license and comparing proposals.

Request the complete quote and forms, then compare who is insured, the value basis, exclusions, claims contact, deductibles, policy dates, and extension terms. Treat awards, rankings, and advertised speed as company claims unless their methodology and evidence are available.
