Whether at a job site or in your truck, theft or damage to critical equipment could cause a significant financial loss. It’s essential to ensure you have adequate coverage.
Builder’s Risk Insurance, sometimes called Construction Liability Insurance, provides protection for new construction projects or if a building is going through major renovations with structural changes. Whether you’re the contractor, developer, or builder on a project or acting as your own general contractor to build your own home, a Builder’s Risk policy will ensure your hard work is protected against factors beyond your control like fire, vandalism, and theft.
Professional Liability Insurance or Errors and Omissions (E&O) Insurance covers your legal fees or settlement awards if you are sued for negligence or failure to deliver promised services.
