General contractors face unique insurance challenges, from managing subcontractors to meeting contract requirements and protecting completed work. Below are answers to some of the questions TWFG - Contractors Insurance hears most often from Texas general contractors. Need personalized advice? Call us at 713-388-6681.
A general contractor typically carries $1M/$2M general liability with completed operations, commercial auto, workers' comp, an umbrella sized to contract requirements ($1M–$4M extra), builders risk on ground-up projects, and bonding capacity for public or large private work. GCs managing subs should also verify every sub's COI and additional-insured status – it's the single biggest controllable cost factor at audit.
A small GC doing $500K–$1M in revenue typically pays $3,000–$8,000 per year for general liability, roughly 0.5%–2% of revenue depending on the residential/commercial mix and subcontractor usage. Add commercial auto, umbrella, and workers' comp, and total insurance spend commonly lands between 2% and 5% of revenue.
Your completed operations coverage generally extends to work performed on your behalf by subcontractors—which is exactly why carriers charge you for uninsured subcontractor payroll. But your policy is not a substitute for the subcontractor's own insurance. Contractual risk transfer (subs carrying their own GL, naming you as additional insured, and signing indemnity agreements) is what keeps your losses and premiums down.
Owner's and Contractors Protective (OCP) is a standalone policy a contractor buys to protect a specific project owner. Wrap-ups (OCIP/CCIP) are master programs where the owner or GC insures every contractor on a large project under one policy. If you're enrolled in a wrap, your own GL usually excludes that project—make sure your certificates and pricing reflect it.
