Common questions answered

What insurance coverage do construction companies need?

Essential coverages include:

-General Liability Insurance

-Workers' Compensation Insurance

-Builders Risk Insurance

-Commercial Auto Insurance

-Equipment Coverage

-Professional Liability (for design-build contractors)

How much general liability insurance do I need?

Coverage limits typically start at $1 million per occurrence and $2 million aggregate. However, specific requirements depend on:

-Project size and types

-Contract requirement

-State regulations

-Risk exposure

Does builders risk insurance cover theft?

Yes, standard builders risk policies typically cover theft of materials and equipment from the job site, along with damage from fire, wind, and other specified perils.

What exactly is a performance bond?

A performance bond is a type of surety bond that guarantees the completion of a construction project according to contract specifications. It protects the project owner by ensuring they'll be compensated if the contractor fails to complete the work as agreed.

How much does a performance bond cost?

Performance bond premiums typically range from 0.5% to 3% of the contract amount. The exact rate depends on factors including:

-Your company's financial strength

-Years in businessCredit history

-Project size and complexity

-Previous bonding history

How quickly can I get a performance bond?

With proper documentation, we can typically issue performance bonds within 24-48 hours. For larger projects or new clients, the process might take 3-5 business days for full underwriting review.

Are bid bonds refundable?

Bid bond premiums are typically non-refundable. However, the actual bond guarantee expires once the contract is awarded and the performance bond is in place.

What happens if I win the bid but can't get the performance bond?

If you can't secure the required performance bond after winning a bid, your bid bond could be forfeited, and you may be liable for the difference between your bid and the next highest bidder.

How much does a bid bond cost?

Bid bonds typically cost between 1-5% of the bid amount. Many sureties include bid bonds at no additional cost when you commit to getting the performance bond through them.

When we needed to quickly secure a bond for a major government contract, Tucker Bonds came through in record time. Their understanding of construction insurance requirements is outstanding, and they found coverage gaps in our old policy that could have been disastrous.
