Secure Your Self-Storage
Investment From Day One

Builder’s Risk Insurance gives self-storage owners and operators a smarter way to protect their project while it’s taking shape – covering the buildings, materials, and equipment that keep your development moving forward.

Builder’s Risk Insurance for Self-Storage Development

Self-storage construction projects carry risk before the first tenant ever moves in. Weather, theft, fire, vandalism, material damage, and project delays can cause costly setbacks during construction.

SBOA Insurance helps developers and facility owners secure builder’s risk insurance for new construction, expansions, and major renovations.

Understanding
Construction-Phase Protection

Builder’s risk insurance is property coverage for buildings and materials during construction. It helps protect a project while work is underway, including structures under construction, materials awaiting installation, and certain covered losses that may affect the project schedule.

For self-storage, this coverage matters because construction delays can affect opening dates, financing, lease-up timing, and future revenue.

Coverage Areas

Structures Under Construction

Coverage for self-storage buildings and related structures while they are being built, expanded, or renovated.

Materials On-Site or Off-Site

Protection for covered materials, fixtures, and equipment stored at the project site or, depending on the policy, temporarily stored off-site.
