Construction Coverage: Safeguard Your Projects from the Ground Up
At All Risk Advisors, we understand that construction projects come with a host of unique risks—tight deadlines, complex regulations, large crews, and expensive materials. Our Construction Coverage solutions are designed to protect every phase of your operation, from pre-construction planning to finishing touches. With our specialized insurance packages, you can focus on delivering quality work while we handle the risks.
Why Contractors & Construction Pros Need Specialized Coverage
High-Value Projects & Equipment
- Building Materials & Equipment: From cranes and bulldozers to specialized tools, you’ve invested heavily in your business. A single incident—like theft or vandalism—can cause major financial setbacks without the right protection.
- Project Delays: Unexpected events can lead to project downtime, increasing costs. Proper coverage can help mitigate losses and keep operations on track.
Regulatory & Compliance Requirements
- Licensing & Permits: Different regions and projects come with varying regulations. Having the correct insurance not only safeguards you but also helps you meet legal and contractual obligations.
- Safety Standards: A robust policy ensures you’re protected if accidents happen—even if you maintain rigorous safety protocols.
Workforce Risks
- Workers’ Comp: Construction sites are inherently high-risk. Workers’ compensation is not just required by law in most states, but also vital to protect your crew and your financial stability.
- Subcontractors: Many contractors rely on subcontractors. Make sure your coverage addresses potential liabilities if a subcontractor is injured or causes property damage.
Key Components of Construction Coverage
Whether you’re a general contractor or a specialty trade contractor, here are some core insurance types we often recommend:
General Liability Insurance
- Protects against third-party bodily injury and property damage.
- Critical for any construction operation to manage claims resulting from on-site incidents, completed work disputes, or accidents involving bystanders.
Builders Risk Insurance
- Covers structures and materials under construction.
- Essential for new builds, remodels, or renovations to safeguard your work from unforeseen events like fire, theft, vandalism, or certain weather damages.
Workers’ Compensation
- Provides medical and wage benefits to employees injured on the job.
- Helps meet state mandates and shows commitment to employee welfare.
Commercial Auto Insurance
- Protects trucks, vans, or other vehicles used for transporting workers, tools, or materials.
- Addresses both liability and property damage costs arising from vehicle accidents.
Contractor’s Equipment Insurance
- Covers heavy machinery, tools, and equipment against theft, damage, or breakdown.
- Prevents costly delays if you need to repair or replace essential gear quickly.
Umbrella/Excess Liability
- Offers an extra layer of protection beyond your primary liability limits.
- Recommended for large-scale or high-value projects where damage claims can exceed basic policy limits.

FAQs: Construction Coverage
Are subcontractors automatically covered under my policy?
Not always. In many cases, you need to ensure each subcontractor has their own coverage or extend your policies to include them. We can advise you on the best approach.
What if I have multiple job sites running at once?
Builders risk and general liability policies can be set up to accommodate multiple simultaneous projects. We’ll help you identify if a blanket policy or separate coverage is more cost-effective.
Do I really need an umbrella policy?
If you handle large-scale or high-value projects where potential damages could exceed your base policy limits, an umbrella policy is highly recommended for added protection.
