Expected Date

Trigger Point Builder’s Risk trigger point varies between “earlier of” and “later

• f” language.

Property trigger point

• ccurs at the time of

the loss. Ded uctibles Builder’s Risk deductibles higher due to challenges with loss adjustment as revenue is an estimation or projection. Property deductibles lower as revenue is a proven value. Period of Ind em nity Builder’s Risk Period

• f Indem nity (POI)

starts at the Anticipated/Scheduled Date of Completion which commonly equals the policy expiration (and not the loss date). Recov ery or Restora tion Period Builder’s Risk Recovery Period is equal to the POI. Property Restoration Period is the time it takes to get back to pre-loss conditions, plus agreed extended POI. Remember: Period of restoration and period of Delay in a significant loss will probably be different.
