Continental Risk Offering Program for Commercial Contractors Continental Risk / Continental Marine Insurance Services offers a contractors-focused liability program designed for commercial builders and infrastructure contractors whose operations exceed standard market appetites. As a general agency and excess & surplus lines broker, we place complex, high-exposure contractor accounts with markets that understand excavation, structural steel, crane operations, demolition and other heavy-construction risks. Ideal Accounts and Appetite The program has a broad appetite for commercial contracting classes that often struggle in standard markets due to operational complexity or higher limits. Target classes include: General contractors (including those that subcontract 100% of work) Excavation contractors, including water and sewer line work Horizontal boring and directional drilling contractors Iron and steel erection and structural steel contractors Demolition and blasting operations Site preparation, grading, and earthmoving Crane rentals (on-hook sublimits available) Street, road, and infrastructure development contractors Tilt-up concrete construction specialists Seismic retrofitting contractors Owners’ and Contractors’ Protective (OCP) exposures This program is intended for accounts that require tailored underwriting rather than cookie-cutter coverage. For example, you might have a client bidding a municipal infrastructure upgrade that combines deep excavation, crane lifts, and structural steel erection—this program is structured to address that mix of exposures. Coverage Highlights and Advantages Commercial General Liability with Products/Completed Operations coverage Available on ISO Occurrence and Claims-Made forms Customizable endorsements and contractors-specific coverages to address unique jobsite risks Primary limits commonly offered: $1,000,000 per occurrence / $2,000,000 general aggregate / $2,000,000 products/completed ops aggregate Excess liability capacity available upon request to extend limits for larger projects The program’s flexible policy structure allows you to align limits and forms with project requirements—whether you need a single-project OCP policy or an umbrella to consolidate liability across multiple jobsites. Underwriting Notes and Minimum Premiums Underwriting is class- and exposure-driven. The program typically requires a minimum deductible of $5,000. Minimum premiums vary by class, location, payroll/subcontractor costs, and scope of operations. Our underwriters work with agents to evaluate loss history, safety programs, subcontractor controls, and project schedules to offer competitive placements where appropriate.
