Coverage for the Firms That Build It

Structured around how construction and trade firms operate, contract, and carry risk.

Construction and trade firms operate in an environment where risk is present from the moment work begins. Site conditions, subcontractor relationships, and contracts all create exposure that varies across disciplines.

A general contractor carries different risk than a roofing contractor. We structure programs around those differences.

Disciplines We Serve

Built Around Your Trade

Each discipline links to a dedicated page with coverage considerations specific to how those firms operate and carry risk. All coverage is subject to the terms, conditions, and limitations of the policy as issued.

General Contractors

GCs carry risk for the entire site, including subcontractor work. Contract structure and site safety all factor into how a program is considered.

Learn more
Design-Build Firms

One firm carrying both design and construction responsibility requires coverage that reflects both sides.

Learn more
Construction Managers

Professional exposure tied to schedule, budget, and coordination alongside active site management.

Learn more
Trade Contractors

On-site liability specific to each discipline. Electrical, mechanical, and fire protection each carry their own risk considerations.

Learn more
Specialty Contractors

Exposure varies by the nature of the work. Coverage considered around what the work actually involves.

Learn more
Concrete Contractors

Structural performance exposure alongside standard on-site liability. The permanence of the work makes coverage worth reviewing carefully.

Learn more
Roofing Contractors

Elevated on-site liability and workers' compensation exposure. Carriers familiar with roofing risk matter more here than standard placements.

Learn more
Steel and Structural Contractors

Height exposure, workers' compensation, and performance liability tied to the structural role of the work.

Worth Understanding

Before You Review Your Program

The most common gap is coverage that does not reflect how the firm actually operates. Wrong trade classifications, workers' compensation that does not match actual job functions, builders risk placed after construction has begun.

These gaps surface when a claim is filed, not at renewal.

We’ve had an excellent experience working with our workers’ compensation and general liability insurance broker. They are knowledgeable, responsive, and always take the time to explain coverage options clearly. Their team has been proactive in helping us manage risk, keep our policies up to date, and find competitive rates for our business. Whenever we have questions or need certificates issued quickly, they respond promptly and professionally. It’s reassuring to work with a broker who truly understands the needs of businesses and provides reliable support when it matters most. Highly recommended for any company looking for dependable insurance guidance and outstanding customer service.

Hardcover is a welcome new manager for my architectural insurance needs. The experience has been great from the very beginning. They understand the needs of our industry very well and work hard, and quickly, to take care of things. The transition to having them as my broker was painless and cost saving. I wish I had found Avi and the rest of the team years ago. Even with the long time I have been in the business, I still learned a few things from the encounter.

Avi cold called me. I was impressed with his demeanor and quick to answer my questions but it was almost a year before I was due to renew my Professional Liability Insurance. So, when it was time to renew my Professional Liability Insurance I reached back out and compared his work with two other agents. He won the work by being available, responsive, and a good value. I had a ton of questions durning and after the binding of the insurance and he was very willing to discuss and with a great attitude.

Avi reviewed our existing coverage, which was no longer adequate for our small but growing architectural practice - and listened to our future needs before presenting his recommendations. He was patient, thorough, and a pleasure to work with.
