Coverage Recommendations

Construction Insurance FAQ — Reno, NV

Yes. Projects in the foothills and Sierra-adjacent areas face wildfire exposure. Builders risk policies should include brush fire endorsements for these locations. Properties in the wildland-urban interface may face higher premiums and more limited coverage options.

Warehouse and distribution center construction requires general liability, workers compensation, builders risk for the large tilt-up or steel structures, and inland marine for heavy equipment. Major clients like Tesla and Amazon typically require umbrella coverage of $5M or more.
