Why Does a Real Estate Developer Need Insurance?

Development puts you in the middle of contracts, lenders, investors, neighbors, and job sites. One injury claim, property damage allegation, or dispute over project delays can turn into a costly lawsuit before the first unit sells.

What Does Real Estate Developer Insurance Cover?

It can cover third party injuries and property damage, damage to buildings under construction, theft and vandalism, professional liability tied to development decisions, and vehicles and equipment used across sites.

Injury claim at a showing or job site

A prospective buyer trips on temporary stairs during a walkthrough, or a visitor is hurt near the site perimeter. Medical bills and a lawsuit can follow, even if you hired a GC.

Fire or theft during construction

Copper theft delays rough in work, or a small fire damages framing and materials overnight. The rebuild, cleanup, and schedule impact can be significant without the right project coverage.

Dispute over delays or design decisions

A lender or investor alleges your team’s value engineering choice caused code issues and pushed the delivery date. Defense costs add up fast, even when you believe you did everything right.

What insurance do real estate developers typically need in California?

Most developers start with commercial general liability and a builders risk policy for each project.
