# Does Inland Marine Cover Installation?

An installation floater can cover materials during transit and installation, but protection may change at completion and overlap with builders risk.

Builders-risk coverage may apply to the broader project, depending on the forms and contract.

Ask when coverage starts and ends, whether transit and temporary storage are included, and how testing or commissioning is treated. Confirm whose property is insured and coordinate the handoff with the builders-risk policy.
