CRC Launches New Builders Risk Product, Expanding Builders Risk Capabilities

February 09, 2026

CRC Group today announced the launch of Starwind Property’s Builders Risk product, a new, fully digital solution. The platform delivers fast, automated Builders Risk coverage for construction projects valued at $50 million or less.

Starwind Builders Risk leverages advanced data analytics, geospatial tools, and disciplined underwriting rules to provide instant quoting, binding, and policy issuance for eligible risks. CRC Specialty brokers will have exclusive wholesale access to the platform, which will also be available directly to retail agents.

The solution is designed to address a growing segment of the Builders Risk market that has historically lacked efficient digital access. Ryan Turgeon, Head of Builders Risk said, “By combining disciplined underwriting with a fully digital workflow, we’re giving CRC brokers and their retail partners a powerful tool to place construction risks quickly, without compromising risk quality.”

The platform is backed by AM Best A- or better-rated capacity and supports new construction projects across residential and commercial classes, with additional phases planned to expand appetite over time.

“By harnessing Starwind’s tech-enabled underwriting platform, we’re simplifying Builders Risk, creating a fast, efficient, and scalable solution designed for the demands of today’s market,” said Alex Bonds, Co-President of Starwind.

Starwind Builders Risk reinforces CRC’s commitment to delivering innovative, technology-enabled solutions that expand market access while maintaining disciplined underwriting standards. Learn more here.
