We Speak Construction

Deep Industry Expertise with Strong Carrier Relationships

We know what it's like when every day counts. When the lender is waiting on the insurance certificate. When your crew is ready but you can't start because your insurance agent doesn't understand why your project timeline matters.

That's why we built Groundbreaker differently. We've spent years developing strong relationships with carriers who specialize in construction—and we know exactly how to present your project to get fast answers and competitive rates.

Tired of Insurance Slowing Down Your Projects?

"I've got a project ready to break ground, but I'm stuck waiting on insurance. The underwriter wants more documentation. My agent doesn't understand construction timelines. And every day of delay costs me money."
"I'm worried my agent doesn't really understand construction. When I ask about coverage during different phases, I get vague answers. What if something happens and I find out too late that I wasn't covered?"
  • → How many times has insurance underwriting held up your project start?
  • → Has your agent ever asked you to explain what a draw schedule is?
  • → When was the last time you got a builders risk quote the same day you asked for it?
  • → What would it mean for your business if insurance moved as fast as you do?

Insurance should support the build, not delay it. Contractors who build on schedule deserve partners who work the same way.

Coverage Built for the Way You Build

Comprehensive protection from groundbreaking to completion.

Course of Construction

Property damage during construction—fire, weather, vandalism, theft. Covers the structure as it's built, including materials on site.

Soft Costs Coverage

When a covered loss delays your project—loan interest, additional insurance, permits, architect fees. The expenses most policies miss.

Materials in Transit

Your materials are covered from the moment they leave the supplier until installed. No gap when deliveries are on a truck.

Off-Site Materials

Fabricated items stored at your yard or supplier's warehouse? Covered. No surprises when materials aren't on site yet.

Theft & Vandalism

Construction sites attract thieves. Materials, equipment, fixtures—protected against theft and intentional damage.

Debris Removal

After a covered loss, cleanup costs add up. Coverage for removing debris so you can get back to building.

Questions Contractors Ask Us

How is builders risk insurance priced?

Builders risk premiums are based on: total project value (completed value including materials and labor), project duration, construction type (frame, masonry, fire-resistive), location, your experience and claims history, and deductible choices.

Our deep carrier relationships and construction expertise allow us to find competitive rates quickly. We're transparent about what drives your rate.

What's typically NOT covered in builders risk?

Standard builders risk policies typically exclude: damage from faulty workmanship or defective materials (though resulting damage may be covered), earthquake and flood (available as add-ons), wear and tear, loss due to dishonesty of the insured, and penalties or liquidated damages.

We walk through exclusions in plain English before you bind. If you need earthquake, flood, or other specialized coverage, we'll quote it upfront.

How does builders risk work with my existing homeowners policy on a renovation?

This is one of the most common points of confusion—and getting it wrong can leave major gaps in coverage.

The short answer: Your existing homeowners policy typically covers the structure as it exists today. A builders risk policy covers the construction/renovation work and the increased value you're adding.

When you might need builders risk to cover the existing structure too:

  • Major renovations where you're gutting or significantly altering the structure
  • When your homeowners policy has construction exclusions (many do)
  • When your contractor's insurance doesn't cover the existing structure during work
  • High-value renovations where the construction exposure exceeds your homeowners limits

The best approach: Let us review your existing coverage alongside the renovation scope. We'll identify any gaps and recommend whether your builders risk policy needs to cover the existing structure or just the project work. Every renovation is different—cookie-cutter answers don't work here.

How fast can you really turn around a quote?

For straightforward projects with complete information: same day. Most projects can be quoted within 24 hours. Complex projects (high value, unusual construction type, challenging locations) may take longer, but we'll give you a realistic timeline upfront.

The key is complete information on the first submission. We'll tell you exactly what we need—no back-and-forth fishing for requirements.

What if my project scope changes mid-construction?

Projects change—we get it. Change orders, scope additions, timeline extensions are normal in construction. Our carrier relationships allow us to adjust coverage without starting over.

Report significant changes (value increases over 10%, timeline extensions, scope modifications) and we'll update your policy without drama.

What makes excellent builders risk coverage?

The best builders risk coverage includes: proper valuation (completed value, not just current materials), soft costs coverage for delay-related expenses, materials in transit and at off-site locations, theft and vandalism with adequate limits, and debris removal.

Beyond the policy: fast quotes, responsive service when projects change, certificates issued promptly for lenders, and people who understand construction.
