The Program

What is construction & trades business insurance?

Construction and trades business insurance refers to a combination of policies that help protect construction companies, independent contractors, and trade professionals from financial losses related to accidents, injuries, property damage, and liability claims.

The Risks

Why construction & trades
professionals need insurance

Construction and trade work often involves physical labor, heavy equipment, job-site hazards, and interaction with client property. These factors increase exposure to third-party injury claims, property damage, and workplace accidents. Many project owners, general contractors, and municipalities also require proof of insurance before work can begin.

Construction & trades insurance helps businesses manage these risks with coverage designed to support job-site operations, cover equipment and client property, and respond to liability claims and workplace injuries.

Additionally, construction and trades coverage is often structured to help businesses address common contractual insurance requirements such as required coverage limits or certificates of insurance. In many states, certain coverages such as workers’ compensation insurance may also be legally required for construction businesses with employees.
