Each policy may contain different language and provisions. As a result, nothing herein should be relied on to apply to any given scenario not specifically addressed. Nor should the contents of this presentation be deemed to constitute legal advice.

4. Builders Risk Coverage is an extremely complex coverage and our presentation is intended to be a general overview and does not cover every possible scenario or issue that may be encountered bythe Risk Manager.

5. WHAT TO EXPECT • A greater understanding of Builders Risk coverage, including common pitfalls to avoid • Confidence your Builders Risk program will be better targeted to fully indemnify the insured for damages after an insured event • In the event of damage, knowledge of how best to navigate a very complex claim process

6. THE INTENT OF BUILDERS RISK COVERAGE • To indemnify for damage to a project in the course of construction • To insure against financial / economic losses arising in the course of construction

7. INTERESTS OF COVERED PARTIES • Project Owner / Developer • General Contractor • Sub-Contractors

8. PURCHASING SUFFICIENT COVERAGE • Does it correspond to the interests of the parties and the exposure? • Is the policy consistent with the construction contract? • Are there sub-limits, exclusions or other limitations which are inconsistent with the exposure?

9. KNOW THE PROJECT • Pre-Existing Structures at the Site • Project Duration • Type of Structure Under Construction • Any Other Entities with Interests in the Property

10. Understand your exposure: if a project takes 3 years to construct, 1 year of soft cost coverage is not sufficient

11. KNOW THE PROJECT (cont.) • Machinery & Equipment • Underground Works • Sheeting & Shoring • Excavation Work • Landscaping • Off-Site Storage of Materials

13. The type of property covered under a Builders Risk Policy can vary significantly from policy to policy

17. WHAT IS SHEETING & SHORING? • Does it become a permanent part of the structure? • Does it need to be specifically reported? • Is there a limitation for the value in the policy?

18. Is this wall temporary?
