What type of policy is Bill using to insure his new home during construction?

  1. HO-3 Policy

  2. HO-2 Policy

  3. DP-1 Policy

  4. DP-3 Policy

The correct answer is: HO-2 Policy

Bill is likely using the HO-2 Policy to insure his new home during its construction because this type of policy provides coverage specifically tailored for residential homes. The HO-2, also known as a Broad Form policy, offers coverage for the dwelling as well as personal property against certain risks, which is pertinent during the construction phase. In the context of insuring homes, the HO-2 form provides broader protection than a standard HO-1 policy, covering named perils that can cause damage to the structure being built. This is particularly important during construction, as there are unique risks involved, including theft of materials and damage from weather events. While the other policies, such as the HO-3, provide more extensive coverage for completed homes and personal property, and the DP-1 and DP-3 are designed for dwelling policies (typically for rental properties or non-owner-occupied residences), they do not specifically address the unique circumstances of a home under construction with the same level of coverage that the HO-2 provides. Thus, the HO-2 Policy suits Bill's needs for insuring his home during its construction more effectively than the alternatives.
