High-Risk Insurance for Demolition Contractors

Demolition is one of the most hazardous operations in the construction industry — and one of the most difficult to insure. Standard construction markets routinely decline demolition risks, requiring access to specialty and E&S carriers who understand the unique exposures of selective demolition, structural takedown, and implosion work. Grandbay has the market relationships to place comprehensive programs for demolition contractors of all sizes.
