Concrete Contractor Insurance

Concrete contractors need general liability, workers' comp, commercial auto, and equipment coverage. Flatwork is more straightforward; structural concrete, pumping, and street/public works are underwritten more closely.

Key exposures for concrete contractors

• Structural concrete and foundations vs. flatwork
• Concrete pumping
• Street, sidewalk, and public-works projects
• Silica exposure
• Heavy equipment operation

Coverages a concrete contractor typically needs

General liability with completed operations (and XCU/subsidence review), equipment coverage, commercial auto, workers' comp, and an umbrella.

Workers' comp note

Concrete carries a higher workers' comp rate; silica controls and a safety program help. See workers' comp in California and how your X-Mod works.

FAQ

Is structural concrete harder to insure than flatwork?

Yes. Foundations and structural work carry more severe completed-operations exposure than sidewalks and slabs, so they're underwritten more closely.

Do concrete contractors need subsidence coverage?

Work below grade or near structures can raise subsidence/XCU questions; review these exclusions with your advisor.
