Our Construction Insurance Services

Comprehensive specialty coverage programs built for general contractors, subcontractors, specialty trades, and real estate developers.

Builder's Risk

Project-specific property coverage from groundbreaking to completion. Protects the structure, materials, and temporary works against fire, theft, vandalism, and weather-related losses at every construction phase.

Contractor Liability

General liability coverage for bodily injury and property damage arising from construction operations, including ongoing and completed operations exposure for claims that surface long after project handover.

Wrap-Up Insurance (OCIP/CCIP)

Owner- and contractor-controlled wrap-up programs consolidating coverage across all project participants for large-scale developments, satisfying lender and owner requirements on complex multi-trade projects.

Tools & Equipment

Inland marine coverage for owned and rented machinery, tools, and equipment. Protects against theft, damage, and loss whether on-site, in transit, or temporarily stored at an off-site location.

Installation Floater

Covers materials, fixtures, and equipment designated for installation while in transit to the job site or awaiting installation, protecting your project from costly supply chain and delivery losses.

Commercial Auto

Commercial auto coverage for contractor fleets, work trucks, and specialized vehicles. Soma places hard-to-insure commercial auto risks that standard carriers decline, across every vehicle category.

Project-Ready Programs

Construction Coverage Built Around How You Actually Work

Construction is one of the most complex verticals in commercial insurance — contract requirements shift by project, subcontractor rosters change, and standard markets frequently decline contractors with specialized trades or prior claims. Soma's construction specialists work with Chubb, Liberty Mutual, and Kinsale to structure programs that flex around your project pipeline, satisfy lender and owner requirements, and deliver competitive quotes through a single fast application. No waiting weeks, no chasing brokers.
