delayed completion coverage

Time element coverage for property under construction, also referred to as delayed or delay in start up (DSU), delayed opening, soft costs, or advance loss of profits (ALOP) coverage. Delayed completion coverage covers income loss or specified additional expenses (such as additional interest charges and advertising expenses) that result from a delay in the completion of a construction project when the delay is caused by covered property damage. It is typically written as part of a builders risk or marine cargo policy.
