Risk Advisory

Key Exposures We Address

General Contractors operations carry distinct risks that require specialized coverage strategies. Our team identifies and mitigates the exposures most likely to impact your business.

01
Third-Party Bodily Injury
Visitors, passersby, and adjacent property owners can sustain injuries on or near active construction sites, triggering significant liability claims.
02
Subcontractor Liability Gaps
Uninsured or underinsured subcontractors can leave the GC exposed for claims arising from their work — requiring robust subcontractor compliance programs.
03
Completed Operations Claims
Defects discovered after project completion can result in costly claims years after the work is done, making completed operations coverage critical.
04
Workers Compensation Exposure
Construction remains one of the highest-risk industries for workplace injuries, with falls, struck-by incidents, and equipment accidents driving significant claims.
05
Contractual Liability
Owner contracts routinely require GCs to indemnify owners and architects for claims arising from the project, creating broad contractual liability exposure.
06
Property Damage to Work
Damage to the project itself — whether from weather, fire, or construction error — can result in significant out-of-pocket costs without proper builders risk coverage.
