Risk & Business Magazine CMW Insurance Fall 2015 | Page 7
Successful contractors surround
themselves with a skilled team of
professional advisers. The experienced
construction insurance and bonding
broker, as a key part of this team, is
uniquely positioned to help the contractor
identify and respond to the many risks that
can threaten the viability of a construction
company. While construction insurance
and bonding is in part about issuing
insurance polices, bonds and supporting
paper work, the contractor should consider
this to be a base level of service from their
broker.
What is truly valuable is the broker’s ability
to identify and proactively respond to risks
quickly so that threatening situations
can be addressed, controlled, transferred
to others or avoided. Every successful
contractor knows this.
