Construction Wrap-Up
Market Detail: M.J. Hall & Company Inc.’s (www.mjhallandcompany.com) coverage is available for owners, developers, construction managers and general contractors who face a host of insurance uncertainties with every project. While no silver bullets can eliminate every uncertainty, a controlled insurance program (wrap-up) can improve coverage without blowing budgets by consolidating into one program insurance coverages for all project contractors and subcontractors. These wrap-ups can be sponsored by a project owner or developer, a construction manager, or general contractor.
The programs have historically included workers’ compensation, employers liability, general liability and excess liability. However, wrap-ups are commonly designed to include only general and excess liability. Other project-specific coverages, such as builders risk, environmental liability and professional liability, may also be added to the wrap-ups. MJ Hall has market availability and product knowledge for wrap-ups designed for general and excess liability.
