Though the risk level varies widely from one type of construction to another, all construction workers are in greater danger of physical harm than office workers, retail employees, or those who work in professional venues.\u00a0In addition, construction companies also run a higher risk of damaging other people\u2019s property or causing injuries to visitors or pedestrians.

Depending on other factors about the way individual businesses are run, their needs for other types of insurance will also vary.

The sooner you contact us, the sooner your company will be protected.Builders Risk InsuranceThis type of insurance covers construction materials, equipment, and property related to construction.Workers\u2019 Compensation InsuranceWorkers\u2019 Comp Insurance, required by all construction companies in New Jersey not covered by federal programs, protects both employees and employers in case of a job-related employee injury. Employees benefit from being covered for all medical costs and a portion of their lost income; employers are protected from being sued for damages.\u00a0Business Owners InsuranceA Business Owners’ Policy (BOP) offers a combination of General Liability Insurance and property coverage. It protects the property you own or the space you lease and provides coverage for business interruption if you have to temporarily relocate or close after an incident, such as a flood or fire. This policy will reimburse you for things like rental costs and temporary loss of income during the business interruption.Errors and Omissions (E&O) InsuranceErrors and Omissions (E&O) Insurance (Professional Liability) protects your business when a claim is made that your construction company damaged and\/or caused financial harm to another company. E&O Insurance covers you for both mistakes made by your workers and for your failure to perform a contracted service.\u00a0Commercial Auto InsuranceIf your company owns or leases vehicles used as part of the work process, this policy is needed to protect the cars and drivers from any damages incurred during the course of business.\u00a0Umbrella InsuranceAll insurance policies have maximum limits per incident. The purpose served by an Umbrella Insurance policy is to provide you with an extra layer of protection, covering costs that go beyond the limits of another policy. Though not limitless, Umbrella Insurance could help sustain your construction business if you are faced with enormous losses.Cyber Security InsuranceWhile cyberspace may seem far removed from the construction business, nearly all businesses now depend on computer systems for recording data and performing transactions. Cyber Security Insurance, which can be purchased as an add-on to General Liability, Professional Liability, or BOP policies, can be invaluable when it comes to covering expenses related to a hack of your computer system, a serious security breach, or fraudulent activity.\u00a0Contact Our Experienced Construction Insurance Advisors NowWe are well-prepared to assist you in meeting your Construction Insurance needs.
