A deductible buydown, also referred to as a buyback, allows you to reduce the deductible paid under your property insurance program. This stand-alone policy allows you to reduce a larger flat dollar or percentage deductible to a more economically manageable number and/or to meet financer requirements. For example, a $500,000 deducible may be bought down to $25,000 or a 5% deductible may be bought down to 2%. CMR has access to several specialty programs for properties located in various CAT exposed regions.

In addition to traditional DIC-Differences in Condition policies providing Earthquake, Flood and Excess NFIP Flood, CMR also places NFIP Flood policies and utilizes several specialty private flood programs for high hazard Zones A or V that include broader coverages than those offered through the NFIP (loss of rental income) including a unique FloodFLEX program that includes a percentage payment in addition to the covered flood damage loss payment which can be as high as 100% of the flood damage payment. This supplemental payment may be used for any purpose.
CMR also utilizes a unique “Shake and Pay” program for Earthquake that does not require property damage to trigger coverage. This is a unique program that pays based on the Peak Ground Acceleration in a covered territory after a magnitude 6.0 earthquake or greater occurs in the region. This program can be utilized to supplement high deductible traditional earthquake coverage to reduce overall cost and improve coverage.

Most builders risk insurance policies have the ability to provide coverage for various Soft Costs and Loss of Rental Income, however these additional coverages will not pay for your inability to claim Section 42 Low Income Housing Tax Credits. CMR offers an exclusive program to insure the timing of your tax credits from delays in construction due to casualty losses.

If a covered cause of loss causes a delay in claiming Section 42 tax credits this coverage will pay you the tax credit that you would have otherwise been able to claim.

Coverages offered for both New Construction and Rehabilitation Projects on a broad Builders Risk Coverage Form including:
