Builders risk insurance is designed to protect a construction project while it’s underway. For telecom contractors, that includes everything from tower installations and base station construction to small cell site upgrades and underground cabling.
This policy doesn’t just cover buildings—it covers telecom-specific materials, equipment, and infrastructure that’s part of the project. From the moment ground is broken until the job wraps up, you’re covered for many of the risks that could delay or derail your work.
Need help figuring out how this fits into your risk management plan? Call 281-657-5555. Our experts at Texas Telecom Insurance speak telecom.
Builders risk policies can be surprisingly flexible, but here are some common types of claims telecom companies might face:
Weather-Related Damage
Storms, lightning, and wind can all damage incomplete towers and exposed equipment.
Fire & Vandalism
Accidents or intentional damage to the job site or stored materials can result in costly delays.
Theft of Materials
Copper wire, tools, radios—telecom jobs are magnets for theft, especially in remote areas.
Equipment Breakdown
Specialty telecom equipment stored on site can be included in your builders risk policy.
Workmanship-Linked Events
If faulty work leads to damage during the build, the policy may help cover costs for repair.
Most telecom projects involve custom work, coordination across vendors, and complex gear. If something delays your progress—or destroys your materials—the cost to replace or restart can be immense.
Builders risk coverage gives you a financial buffer so one storm, spark, or bad actor doesn’t wipe out your margin. It also shows your clients and partners that you’re a serious professional who plans for the unexpected.
