Want to Save Thousands on Insurance? See the Real Numbers Behind One Project
Insurance premiums are rising fast—and some developers are finding six-figure savings by changing just one thing. Check out a case study below to find out how.
Here’s Why Insurance Costs Keep Climbing
Insurers price based on risk—and traditional wood framing means high risk.
🔥 More fire.
📉 More claims.
💸 Higher premiums.
The Fix? Build Safer to Pay Less
Switching to non-combustible systems like:
-
Cold-Formed Steel (CFS)
-
Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF)
-
Block & Plank
-
Precast Concrete
…means you’re building something insurers want to insure.
See How your Building Type Stacks up Against Insurance Cost
Real savings, real numbers—this case study shows how material decisions shape your insurance costs.
Slightly higher build costs often lead to massive long-term savings. 
Curious how much you could save on insurance by building with a non-combustible material?
We can help you compare insurance cost scenarios for different construction types — so you can make informed decisions early in the design and development process.
