What's not covered by builders risk insurance?

Typically excludes employee injuries (covered by workers' comp), auto accidents, professional errors, earthquakes (unless added), and normal wear and tear. Faulty workmanship may also be excluded.

Policies are typically written for the expected duration of construction, usually 3 to 12 months. Extensions are available if the project takes longer than anticipated. Coverage ends when construction is complete or the property is occupied.
