What type of insurance would an owner likely need to protect their construction project from potential damages before completion?

  1. General Liability Insurance

  2. Commercial Auto Insurance

  3. Builder's Risk Insurance

  4. Equipment Insurance

The correct answer is: Builder's Risk Insurance

Builder's Risk Insurance is specifically designed to protect a construction project from potential damages while it is still in progress. This type of insurance covers loss or damage to a building or structure while it is being constructed, which can occur due to various risks such as fire, theft, vandalism, and certain weather-related incidents. When a construction project is underway, the owner may face significant financial risks if anything were to happen to the site or materials. Builder's Risk Insurance provides coverage for these scenarios, ensuring that the owner does not suffer overwhelming financial loss due to unforeseen events that could occur during the construction phase. The other types of insurance mentioned serve different purposes. General Liability Insurance primarily protects against claims of bodily injury or property damage occurring on the premises but does not cover the construction itself. Commercial Auto Insurance covers vehicles used for business purposes, not construction sites. Equipment Insurance provides protection for machinery and tools, but it does not address the overall construction project as Builder's Risk Insurance does.
