  • What is required for builder's risk coverage during construction, and who must be named on the policy?
  • When does the builder's risk policy end and the homeowner policy begin?
  • Does the policy settle losses at replacement cost or actual cash value, and does the roof settle differently?
  • What are the separate wind, hail, hurricane or wildfire deductibles?
  • How are outbuildings, wells, septic systems and detached garages covered?
  • What vacancy rules apply if the home sits empty between completion and move-in?
