What Does Construction Insurance Cost?
The type of construction your business specializes in will have a significant impact on the types of risks you will face. A General Contractor will not encounter the same types of hazards that an Electrician or a Roofer would. As your risk factors vary, so too will your policy premiums. Other factors that are considered when determining your Construction Insurance policy include:
-
Your Coverage Needs
-
Number of Employees
-
Types of Work Vehicles
-
Your Claims History
Different insurance carriers will rate these factors in numerous ways. This is why it is important to compare prices across plans and to speak with an insurance agent about the intricacies of your business in more detail.
