Understanding Construction Insurance (Webinar)

Description

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
  • Wrap-Up Liability
  • Builders’ Risk or Course of Construction (COC) insurance
  • Contractors’ Equipment
  • And more
