Large subcontractor spend
High subcontractor cost can affect insurer options, audits, and contract compliance if certificates, additional insured status, waivers, and completed-operations terms are not tracked correctly.
Florida contractor coverage for complex projects
Large contractor insurance for high-limit jobs and serious contracts
We help established Florida contractors review GL, workers comp, commercial auto, umbrella/excess, equipment, wrap-up requirements, and subcontractor risk before a certificate request slows down the job or exposes a coverage gap.
4.8 Google ratingSee client reviewsLarge Contractor Insurance at a Glance
- Large contractors usually need a coordinated program, not one isolated policy: GL, workers comp, auto, equipment, umbrella/excess, and contract-specific endorsements all need to line up.
- Wrap-up projects can help, but OCIP/CCIP participation does not automatically replace your own coverage for off-site work, excluded operations, non-enrolled projects, equipment, or auto exposure.
- Florida construction defect timing is now commonly framed around a seven-year outside deadline under current §95.11, so completed-operations wording and policy continuity still matter after the job ends.
- Payroll splits, subcontractor controls, loss runs, safety practices, contract requirements, and equipment schedules help determine which insurers and policy terms are available.
- Before you bind, put the premium beside the exclusions, deductibles, audit basis, additional insured wording, waiver language, and excess follow-form behavior.
Coverage architecture
What a large contractor insurance program should actually solve
Larger contractors need a policy stack that matches the way they bid, subcontract, move equipment, manage crews, satisfy contracts, and complete audits.
We compare contractor insurance around the way the operation works.
Share the project mix, payroll, subcontractors, fleet, contracts, and loss history so we can compare insurers, policy terms, and pricing for the business.
Ask us to review a contractResidential, condo, or habitational work
Florida condo, multifamily, and residential construction can carry detailed completed-operations and construction-defect coverage questions. Compare the policy wording as well as the limit.
Wrap-up project participation
An OCIP or CCIP can be valuable, but enrollment, deductibles, off-site work, excluded parties, and evidence requirements need to be understood before work starts.
Heavy auto and equipment exposure
Dump trucks, cranes, trailers, and mobile equipment can blur the line between GL, auto, equipment, and inland marine. That is where coverage gaps often show up after a claim has already started.
Contractual risk transfer requirements
Primary and non-contributory wording, waiver of subrogation, per-project aggregate, CG 20 10 / CG 20 37 style requests, and indemnity clauses should be reviewed before certificates go out.
Loss runs and safety history
Frequency claims, severe losses, OSHA activity, auto incidents, and workers comp experience modification can narrow the carrier list quickly if they are not packaged with context.
Contract and bid support
Match the policy and certificate wording to the contract.
The contractor quote form lets us collect the business basics, then follow up for loss runs, payroll, vehicles, equipment, contracts, and wrap-up details needed to compare options.

Our review process
How we build a large contractor insurance comparison
We put premium, limits, deductibles, exclusions, certificates, completed operations, vehicles, and umbrella terms against the contracts your company needs to satisfy.
1. Match the contract to the policy
We review limits, endorsements, waiver language, AI wording, per-project aggregate requirements, and any project-specific insurance manual against the available policy terms.
2. Separate the exposures carriers actually price
We use payroll, subcontractor cost, vehicle count, radius, equipment values, project type, height, residential mix, and loss history to request accurate contractor quotes.
3. Show carriers how the business operates
Controls, safety documentation, certificate discipline, and clear project details help carriers understand the contractor and offer accurate terms.
4. Put the full proposal side by side
We check premium, exclusions, deductibles, audit basis, excess follow-form issues, completed operations, auto symbols, and certificate flexibility together.
Renewal comparison
Coverage and contract details to compare before renewal
We review requested endorsements, limits, waiver wording, primary and non-contributory language, and completed-operations requirements against the actual policy before someone promises a certificate that cannot be issued.
Florida insurance options
Large contractor insurance throughout Florida
Based in Lake City and serving Florida statewide, we help contractors think through the local risk differences that show up in contracts, equipment schedules, and carrier questions.
Jacksonville / Northeast Florida
Port, warehouse, highway, marine-adjacent, and industrial projects often bring fleet, equipment, contractual, and pollution questions into the same account.
Orlando / Central Florida
Tourism, hospitality, medical, and mixed-use development can mean higher project values, many subcontractors, and tight certificate requirements.
Tampa Bay / Gulf Coast
Coastal construction, medical facilities, commercial property, and storm-exposed projects require attention to wind, flood, builders risk, and completed operations.
Miami / South Florida
Dense urban work, high-rise exposure, strict contract requirements, and large residential or condo projects make policy wording just as important as the limit shown on the COI.
Fort Myers / Naples
Resort, multifamily, custom residential, and coastal rebuild work can raise coverage questions around residential work, subcontractors, and storm exposure.
North Central Florida
Institutional, university, healthcare, agricultural, and regional commercial projects often involve a mix of local crews, mobile equipment, and project-specific owner requirements.

Large Contractor Insurance FAQ
What insurance does a large Florida contractor usually need?
Most large contractors need general liability, workers compensation, commercial auto, equipment/inland marine, and some form of excess or umbrella liability. Depending on the contract, you may also need builders risk, professional liability, pollution liability, surety bonds, project-specific endorsements, or wrap-up enrollment review. The right answer depends on your operations, contracts, payroll, vehicles, subcontractor use, and project type.
What is the difference between OCIP and CCIP insurance?
An OCIP is owner-controlled; a CCIP is contractor-controlled. Both are wrap-up programs that can insure many project participants under one controlled program. The important part is not the acronym; it is what the program includes, who is enrolled, what work is excluded, what deductibles apply, and what coverage you still need outside the project site.
Does wrap-up insurance replace my contractor insurance policy?
Usually no. A wrap-up may cover enrolled work at a specific project, but contractors often still need their own GL, workers comp, auto, equipment, umbrella, and professional or pollution coverage for off-site work, excluded operations, non-enrolled projects, and ongoing business requirements.
Why do contracts ask for CG 20 10 and CG 20 37 endorsements?
Those ISO-style additional insured endorsements are commonly used to address ongoing operations and completed operations. The exact form edition and wording matter because contract requirements may also ask for primary and non-contributory status, waiver of subrogation, per-project aggregate, and completed-operations protection.
How does Florida's construction defect deadline affect insurance planning?
Florida Statute §95.11 includes timing rules for many construction-defect actions. Completed-operations coverage and policy history can therefore matter after the job is done. We help compare the insurance implications, while the contractor's attorney handles the legal interpretation of a specific claim or contract.
Can Greene help if my renewal is already complicated?
Yes. If you have a difficult renewal, audit issue, certificate problem, contract requirement, or excess-liability question, send the policy, loss runs, contracts, and project requirements. We will compare the current program with the insurers, coverage, and pricing available for the business.
