Rising Rates, Disappearing Coverages for Single & Multi-Family Home Builders

Residential General Contractors face an uphill battle when it comes to securing General Liability insurance coverage. Mold and construction-defect class-action lawsuits have driven up the cost of your General Liability and Products/Completed-Operations coverage consistently each year since 1999. At the same time and as a direct result of the increase of civil litigation between consumers and builders, coverage has eroded over the past 10 years for many exposures, including “Exterior Insulating Finishing Systems” / EIFS, Earth-Movement/Subsidence, Mold, Prior Acts, and Completed Operations.

Our Programs for Residential Contractors

Unlike most trade contractor insurance programs, few carriers are willing to write a broad spectrum of general contractors, favoring instead an approach that carves out a niche within the residential building marketplace. The available marketplace and coverage within your General Liability Program will depend largely upon:

  • Number of Homes Constructed Per Year
  • Average Construction Cost of Home
  • Annual Sales from Construction
  • Annual Subcontracted Costs
  • Single or Multi-Family Construction
  • Loss History
  • Willingness to establish quality control/inspection, certificate management and other programs intended to reduce the chance of post-construction losses.

Available Coverages

General Liability

  • $1,000,000 Occurrence Limit
  • $2,000,000 General Aggregate
