Construction Project Manager Insurance
Why do construction project managers need insurance?
Construction management insurance is often required by contracts, lenders, and state laws. Yet insurance requirements aren’t the only reason to buy a policy. With the right coverage, project managers are financially safe from incidents that could devastate a small business: a worker injury, theft of materials, or a lawsuit over a project delay.

- Third-party property damage

A business owner’s policy, or BOP, is a cost-effective way for construction professionals to buy general liability coverage and commercial property insurance together.
- Slip-and-fall accidents
- Business property damage and theft
