Understanding Construction Insurance (Webinar)

There are many different types of insurance designed to protect property owners, developers, and contractors through the various phases of a construction project. In fact, certain types of construction insurance policies are required for many projects.

Many factors dictate the type of construction insurance coverage one would need for a given project or business. These factors include the person’s relationship to the project (contractor, property owner, subcontractor, etc.), the type of entity buying the insurance (business or individual), and the type of property to be covered.

In this webinar, Nikki Keith, Vice President at Wilson M. Beck Insurance Services Inc., will cover the basic types of insurance everyone should be aware of: 

• Commercial General Liability

4. Internet connection - For best results, you will want to ensure you have an internet connection with an upload/download speed of 3-5 Mbps. You can test your internet speed here. The minimum recommended speed is 1.5 Mbps, but anything below 3 Mbps may result in loss of quality or buffering.
