Builders Risks Forms

Definition of "Builders risks forms"

Types of contracts that insure building contractors for damage to property under construction. The completed value form requires a 100% coinsurance because insurance carried must equal the completed value of the structure. The reporting form allows coverage to be carried according to the stage of completion of the structure. Perils insured against are fire, lightning, vandalism, malicious mischief, riot and civil commotion, smoke, sprinkler leakage, water damage, windstorm, and hail.
