Construction is the most contract-driven industry in commercial insurance. Every project agreement, every subcontract, every owner-issued spec carries insurance requirements. And the coverage must satisfy them or risk being kicked off the job. The line that surprises CFOs is wrap-up vs practice. Getting the structure wrong leaves either the owner or the contractor exposed.
Drawn from analysis of mid-market accounts in this class. The structural ones, what's missing from the coverage rather than what it costs, are the ones that end up on a balance sheet.
The lines ARIA recommends for a well-structured coverage stack in this industry, in the order they typically attach.
A subcontractor's employee is injured on a jobsite when a temporary railing fails. The injured worker sues the GC alleging negligent site supervision. Damages estimated at $4M including future medical and lost-wages.
GC's $2M GL + $5M umbrella respond, but discovery reveals the subcontractor's WC carrier had non-renewed 90 days before the loss, exposing the GC to direct WC liability under the labor-law statute. The GC absorbs $1.8M out-of-pocket plus three years of audit exposure.
RiskMind's subcontractor-compliance coverage (live tracking of every sub's certificates with auto-alerts on lapse) flags the non-renewal at day 0. The GC pulls the sub off the job; the railing is rebuilt by an in-compliance crew; the claim never happens. Indicative annual premium for the GL/Umbrella/WC bundle plus the compliance tooling: $185K–$240K.
