Our Construction Excess Liability Insurance Services

Comprehensive excess liability solutions tailored for every tier of the construction industry, from specialty trades to large-scale developers.

Excess Liability Coverage

An additional layer of liability protection that activates when your primary general liability policy limits are exhausted, protecting contractors and developers against catastrophic third-party bodily injury and property damage claims.

Umbrella Insurance

Broad-form umbrella policies that extend over multiple underlying policies simultaneously — including general liability, employer's liability, and commercial auto — providing seamless gap-filling coverage for complex construction operations.

Completed Operations Excess

Excess liability protection specifically covering defect and damage claims arising after project handover, a critical layer for general contractors and developers facing long-tail completed operations exposures.

Wrap-Up Excess (OCIP/CCIP)

Excess liability coverage structured to sit above Owner-Controlled or Contractor-Controlled Insurance Programs, consolidating protection across all project participants on large-scale multi-trade developments.

Contractor Liability Programs

Customized excess liability programs for general contractors, subcontractors, and specialty trades, designed to satisfy lender, owner, and contract requirements while scaling with your project pipeline.

Risk Management Services

Soma's Risk Management Team analyzes your construction operations, identifies coverage gaps, and structures excess liability towers at the right limits — replacing the slow, traditional broker model with fast, expert-driven program placement.

High-Limit Coverage

Extra Protection When Construction Claims Go Beyond Primary Limits

Construction is one of the highest-liability industries in commercial insurance. A single serious incident — a scaffold collapse, a structural defect claim, or a multi-party injury on a large jobsite — can easily exceed a standard general liability policy's limits. Soma places Construction Excess Liability coverage through top-rated specialty carriers including Chubb, Liberty Mutual, and Kinsale, providing the additional financial protection your projects demand. Whether you're a general contractor managing multi-trade sites or a developer navigating lender requirements, Soma structures excess coverage that fits your operations and gets you insured fast.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is excess construction insurance?

Excess construction insurance is a policy that provides additional liability limits above your primary general liability policy. When a claim exhausts your underlying coverage limits, the excess policy activates to cover remaining costs. It's essential for contractors and developers on large projects where a single incident — such as a structural collapse or multi-party injury — could generate claims far exceeding standard policy limits.
