What Is Construction Managers Insurance?
Construction Managers Insurance aims to protect construction managers from possible problems that might happen at any phase of the project. It ensures you are covered in a situation where your work is directly responsible for any damage or liability.
This insurance usually combines General Liability (GL) and Professional Liability (PL) to eliminate the hassle of having separate policies.
General Liability
General Liability is insurance that protects you and your business from ‘general’ claims such as property damage and bodily injuries.
Professional Liability
Also known as Errors and Omissions (E&O) insurance, Professional Liability insurance covers professionals like architects and engineers against negligence and other claims initiated by their clients.
Who Can Benefit From Construction Managers Insurance?
This type of insurance benefits construction managers working in either residential or commercial projects, or both. No project specialization is too big or too small to be insured.
Our construction managers insurance packages an be customized to fit the needs of both independent contractors and those working in a company or firm.
Why Is It Important for Construction Managers to Have This Insurance?
Mistakes and unforeseen events are always a possibility at work. And since construction managers are involved in many aspects of the projects they handle, they can get sued for negligence, breach of contract, and project delays among others.
Whether the construction manager is really at fault is irrelevant; they still need to be able to legally defend themselves. In such instances, specialized professional liability insurance will help with the costs.
Other types of insurance can also be added to a customized insurance bundle to address the risks that come with having commercial vehicles, a physical office, and valuable physical/digital documents.
