The Direct Answer
For most residential and light commercial builders risk projects, we turn around a quote the same business day, often within 2-4 hours. Larger commercial projects may take 24-48 hours for full competitive quoting across multiple carriers.
To quote your project we need: project address, type (new construction or renovation), completed project value, construction type (wood frame, masonry, steel), expected start and completion dates, and whether you need endorsements such as flood, soft costs, or existing structure coverage.
Once you have a quote and decide to proceed, we bind coverage and issue the binder the same day. If a lender is waiting on evidence of insurance before funding a draw, same-day binding is our standard. The carriers we work with require completed plans before binding on projects over $500K, but we can secure preliminary indications while plans are being finalized.
What We Need to Quote Your Project
Determines location factors including coastal exposure, flood zone, and wind zone rating.
The total replacement cost at completion, not the current partial value of work in place.
Wood frame, masonry, or steel frame. One of the biggest single rate drivers on any project.
Start date and expected completion date determine the policy term we quote.
Why Calling Early Matters
Contractors and owners who wait until the day before groundbreaking to call about builders risk face limited carrier options, no time to shop rates, and risk of a coverage gap if binding cannot be completed in time. Calling early gives us the runway to present multiple carrier options, identify the right endorsements for your project, and have coverage ready to bind the moment you need it.
