Investopedia explains 'Builders Risk Coverage Form'
The policy must be purchased when the project is less than 30% complete and coverage ends when the owner takes possession, 90 days have passed since the completion of construction, or the insured abandons the project with no plans to complete it.
The named insured will usually be the property's contractor or developer, but in some cases it is the building owner or homeowner. This type of policy often requires builders to have a minimum amount of experience (such as 2-3 years).
