General Contractor Insurance Coverage

GCs carry liability from their own work, their subcontractors' work, and the projects they manage. Here's how KIG structures comprehensive protection for general contractors.

General Liability

Broad coverage for bodily injury and property damage claims arising from your construction operations, including liability for work performed by your subcontractors.

Builders Risk

Covers the structure under construction from fire, theft, vandalism, wind, and other perils during the build period — protecting both your work and materials on site.

Commercial Auto

Covers your fleet of trucks, pickups, and equipment vehicles — including hired and non-owned auto coverage for employees using personal vehicles on company business.

Workers' Compensation

Required in most states — covers your employees for work-related injuries and illness, including construction site accidents which are among the most costly workers' comp claims.

Commercial Umbrella

Provides additional liability limits above your primary GL, auto, and employer's liability policies — essential for large commercial projects with significant loss potential.

Professional Liability (E&O)

Covers errors in project management, scheduling mistakes, or design-build liability — increasingly important as GCs take on design responsibilities.

We Don't Just Sell Insurance. We Specialize in General Contractor.

General contractors need more than a basic contractor policy. KIG specializes in building programs that address the full complexity of managing construction projects and subcontractor relationships.

Subcontractor Coverage Expertise

We structure your policy to ensure subcontractor work is covered and help you build the right sub insurance requirements to protect your project.

Large Project Experience

Whether it's a $500K remodel or a $10M commercial build, we have the carrier relationships to place the right limits and coverages.

Fast Project-Specific COIs

Project owners and construction managers need certificates quickly. We turn around project-specific COIs and AI endorsements the same day.

Builders Risk Placement

We place builders risk on a per-project or blanket basis — and can advise on who should carry it (owner vs. GC) based on your contract structure.

General Contractor Contractors Face Unique Risks

As a GC, you're liable not just for your own work but for everything happening on your job site — including your subs' mistakes and third-party injuries.

  • Third-party injury on your job site

    As the GC, you carry site safety responsibility. A visitor or delivery driver injured on site can lead to a major GL claim.

  • Subcontractor workmanship failures

    If a sub's faulty work causes a claim, the project owner will likely name you — even if you're not directly responsible for that trade.

  • Project delays and cost overruns

    Contractual liability for delays, liquidated damages, and cost overruns are common GC exposures that require careful policy structuring.

  • Property damage during construction

    Damage to the structure under construction, neighboring properties, or existing structures during renovation are all real exposures for GCs.

General Contractor Insurance FAQs

Do I need to require my subs to carry their own insurance?
Absolutely. KIG can help you build a subcontractor insurance requirements program — specifying minimum limits and required endorsements (like additional insured status) that protect you if a sub causes a loss.
What is builders risk insurance and who should carry it?
Builders risk covers the structure during construction. Whether the GC or project owner carries it depends on the contract. KIG can advise and place builders risk coverage on any project.
Do I need commercial umbrella as a GC?
For almost all general contractors doing commercial work, yes. A single serious injury or major property damage claim can exceed your primary policy limits. Umbrella coverage is typically cost-effective relative to the additional protection it provides.
