Let’s Begin with the Coverage You Need to Grow Your Business.
Our Excalibur Insurance Brokers will ask a lot of questions – for good reason. The many activities that a real estate developer can have ongoing at any time, means your business faces unique risks. The purchase of raw land, parceling land for sales, developing land, renovating and leasing properties or working on rezoning all involve risk regarding profit and success.
While you may control and orchestrate the development process you also take on the most risk. Without the necessary financing, approval, and marketing a project may be sold unfinished or a loss will be copped. Our team is there to ensure you have exactly the coverage you require. Risk management will be critical to the success and growth of your Real estate development company.
We’ll begin by acknowledging the risks, then prioritizing those in terms of what is most urgent, or likely. Then we’ll develop a plan to manage, mitigate, transfer, accept or even avoid those risks.
Here are a few areas of specialized concern you may want to consider when reviewing your coverage:
- Goods in Transit
coverage is a surprisingly overlooked risk, especially for businesses like Real Estate Development where you might be moving large amounts of construction material from one site to another. Damage may occur unexpectedly in transport. - Contractual Risk
is another consideration for many Real Estate Companies, as failure to adhere to the standards or even deadlines of an agreed-upon contract may result in the loss of a client, nonpayment, or even reputational injury. To mitigate this risk, avoiding taking on too many projects, understanding the capacity of your business, and ensuring that your staff are informed as to what your business’ priorities are on the scale of most urgent to least urgent is critical to managing contractual risk. - Fluctuations
in the general market – like increases in construction costs, building materials, and labour may pose a risk to developers. There may be a failure to account for set construction costs in the budget. Without any wiggle-room to include the potential rise of these costs, you may borrow money or cop a loss and sell an unfinished project. Unfortunately, due to the recent COVID-19 pandemic, many suppliers have had to close shop and demand has recently risen for housing materials – causing construction costs to spike.
These are just a number of the real risks your employees and customers face daily in the Real estate development business. To keep your team operating at its best your Excalibur Commercial Insurance specialist will review coverage options with you.
Business Insurance for Real Estate Developers
No matter how large or small your Real Estate Development company is, insurance is critical. Even with the most fool-proof risk management strategy you can muster, accidents happen. There might be external, uncontrollable forces that can cause an unexpected disaster, or even internal matters which result in loss. For such reasons, it is vital to your business’ livelihood that you purchase appropriate business insurance coverage.
