General Contractor Insurance

General contractors carry responsibility for the entire job site, including the work of subcontractors they hire. One uninsured sub, a defective installation, or a third-party injury can land squarely on the GC, making broad liability and solid risk transfer essential.

Risks We Help Manage

Exposures that demand a strategy

Before recommending coverage, we map the specific exposures that threaten your operation. For general contractor insurance, those typically include:

Liability for the work and injuries of subcontractors
Third-party bodily injury and property damage on the job site
Construction defect and completed-operations claims
Theft of tools, materials, and equipment
Contractual and additional-insured requirements from owners
Coverages to Consider

A program built around your operation

With access to more than 100 highly rated carriers and specialty programs, we assemble the right combination of coverages rather than a one-size-fits-all policy.

Commercial General Liability

Protects against third-party bodily injury and property damage claims arising from your premises and operations, including legal defense costs.

Contractors' Tools & Equipment

Covers owned, leased, and borrowed tools and equipment on the job and in transit.

Workers' Compensation

Pays medical bills and lost wages for employees injured on the job and shields you from related employee lawsuits.

Commercial Auto

Protects trucks and vehicles used to haul crews, tools, and materials.

Commercial Umbrella / Excess Liability

Adds an extra layer of liability limits above your underlying policies to protect against catastrophic claims and large lawsuits.

Who this is for

General contractors and construction managers overseeing residential or commercial projects.
