Coverage for construction

The lines contractors need — placed to match your contract obligations.

General Liability

$1M / $2M

Bodily injury, property damage, and completed-operations coverage written to match owner-controlled insurance programs and contract indemnity requirements.

Workers' Compensation

Statutory

State-by-state coverage for trades and subcontractors, with experience modification reviews and return-to-work programs that control renewals.

Commercial Auto

$1M CSL

Owned, hired, and non-owned auto for trucks, vans, and trailers. Includes cargo and equipment floaters for tools in transit.

Inland Marine / Equipment

Agreed value

Contractor's equipment, installation floaters, and builders risk for materials and tools on site, in transit, or stored off premises.

Umbrella / Excess

$5M+

Additional limits above primary liability towers, often required by general contractors and project owners before a job begins.

Builder's Risk

Project specific

Coverage for structures under construction, including materials, fixtures, and equipment against fire, theft, and weather during the build.

Surety Bonds

Bid to final

Bid, performance, and payment bonds placed with sureties that understand your trade and financials. Critical for qualifying on public and private projects.

Limits and terms are tailored to each operation, contract, and state. We confirm coverage requirements before binding so certificates are accepted on day one.
