Which type of insurance is required for damage to rebar inside concrete forms from high winds?

Builder's Risk insurance is specifically designed to cover buildings and structures under construction from various risks, including damage from high winds. Since rebar is a crucial component of concrete structures, any damage to it that occurs while it is stored or placed within the forms during construction would fall under this type of insurance. Builder's Risk insurance provides coverage for materials, fixtures, and equipment that are part of the construction project until it is completed and occupied.

Contractor's Property insurance generally covers the contractor's own tools and equipment but may not extend to materials in the context of specific risks like wind damage during construction. Equipment Insurance focuses on protecting machinery and equipment used on the job site, and while important, does not directly relate to structural elements like rebar. Public Liability insurance protects against claims made by third parties for injury or damage caused by the contractor, which is not applicable to the specific scenario of wind damage to rebar.

Thus, Builder's Risk is the most appropriate type of insurance for covering losses related to damage from environmental factors during the construction phase.
