CERTIFICATES
The construction industry requires documentation of insurance for bids, customers and fellow contractors. The certificate process including additional insured and waiver of subrogation can require additional premium payments ranging from $50-$250 depending on the insurance carrier. Please be sure to discuss this cost with your insurance agent and build it into the bidding process. For more information please visit our webpage on obtaining a certificate.
AUDIT
If you purchase workers comp or general liability the premium is based on estimates of payroll, revenue and subcontractor costs. Since the insurance is based on estimates the policies will be audited at the end of the year. The audit is performed so the insurance company can collect the premium for the actual job performed. For more information please visit our insurance audit webpage.
