insuranceservicesgroup — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 20:36:34 +0000

Seattle, Washington Apartment Insurance is designed to protect apartment building owners against a myriad of things that happen in apartment buildings. While we insure the apartment building itself, we also provide insurance for other property that belongs to the building owners. When a loss happens, the apartment building ownership will likely loss out on rents as the apartment building is repaired. We insurance this “loss of rents” as well as add special coverage based on the age and type of apartment building.

Apartment building owners face additional code and regulation issues due to their occupancy. For many apartment buildings, it is important to add Ordinance and Law Coverage. While this is not automatically included in policies, this coverage can provide for the additional costs to bring undamaged portions of the apartment building up to current code (fire sprinklers, etc), pay for demolition costs to undamaged portion if needed to be brought to code and additional costs to damaged portion to amend construction to meet current code.

Because we do business with more than 30 insurance companies, we have access to the best coverage and PRICES available. When looking for options for your apartment building, please visit our webpage to contact us or to request a quote.

Seattle Construction Insurance

Seattle, Washington construction insurance covers the building phase of a residential or commercial edifice. Unlike Seattle homeowners insurance, Seattle construction insurance (also known as builders risk policy) covers the unfinished structure and acquired materials. Seattle construction insurance covers losses from rain damage, wind damage, and other factors often not covered by Seattle liability insurance, and must be purchased prior to inception of the construction project. The insurer may ask for a copy of the building contract before issuing such a policy.

Seattle construction insurance doesn’t cover the implied value of a structure; only the funds expended to the point of the damage. If a homeowner is building a $220,000 home but spends only $80,000 when a storm destroys the structure, he or she will receive $80,000, even if under the impression that the home has reached greater value at that point in time.
