Which property coverage form is appropriate for a building under construction?

The builders risk form is specifically designed to provide coverage for buildings that are under construction. It addresses the unique risks associated with incomplete structures, such as damage from fire, theft, vandalism, or certain weather-related events during the construction process. This form often covers not just the structure itself, but also materials, fixtures, and equipment that are intended to become a permanent part of the building.

In contrast, a general liability form primarily protects businesses from claims of bodily injury and property damage that occur on the premises, but it does not cover damage to the building being constructed. The equipment breakdown form is focused on coverage for mechanical and electrical breakdowns of machinery and equipment, which is not relevant to the coverage of a construction site. The commercial property form typically covers completed buildings and their contents but would not adequately address the specific needs and risks associated with a project that is still under construction. Thus, the builders risk form is the appropriate choice for a building undergoing construction.
