Construction Insurance Planning: What Contractors Should Review Before Starting a Project Construction Insurance Planning: What Contractors Should Review Before Starting a Project

Construction insurance is more than purchasing a General Liability policy.

Every project creates a network of responsibilities between owners, developers, general contractors, and subcontractors.

Important areas to review include:

• Contract requirements
• Additional insured provisions
• Subcontractor insurance compliance
• Workers’ Compensation
• Commercial Auto
• Excess liability needs

Large projects may also utilize Contractor Controlled Insurance Programs (CCIP) or Owner Controlled Insurance Programs (OCIP) to manage project-wide risk.

Early insurance planning helps contractors avoid coverage gaps and contractual surprises.
