Builders risk coverage gaps agents need to know and how to close them

The US construction sector continues to expand, and with it, the complexity of insuring projects from groundbreaking to completion. Yet for many insurance agents, builders risk policies remain one of the most misunderstood products in the commercial lines toolkit. Coverage exclusions, valuation missteps, and poorly timed policy transitions can leave clients and agents dangerously exposed when a loss occurs. 

Victor Insurance's practical guide cuts through the complexity, walking agents through the most common builders risk pitfalls: limited peril coverage, soft cost gaps, new construction versus renovation distinctions, and the critical issue of underinsurance. With clear guidance on how to identify these exposures and recommend appropriate solutions, this resource equips agents to deliver stronger advice, reduce E&O risk, and build more confidence with construction clients.
