As a managing general agency, Amwins offers a focused package that combines general liability, auto, pollution, and excess liability to address the primary exposures of demolition operations. The program targets established demolition contractors and provides specialty underwriting, loss-control support, and superior claims handling via an AM Best "A" rated carrier. Overview of the Program from Amwins Underwriting This program is designed for contractors who perform demolition and salvage work as their primary business. Coverage can include: Commercial General Liability Automobile Liability (including pollution-contaminant liability on autos) Pollution liability (operations-related) Excess/Umbrella limits to broaden protection Limits are competitive for this class: General Liability up to $1,000,000 per occurrence / $2,000,000 aggregate and Automobile up to $1,000,000 CSL. General Liability is placed on non-admitted paper; other lines are typically written on admitted paper. Ideal Accounts and Appetite This program is a strong fit if your client meets the following: At least 75% of gross receipts are from demolition-related activities. Primary operations include selective demolition, structure dismantling, salvage, and site clearance without high-hazard methods. Clients who handle recycling of construction debris, excavation, or grading as incidental operations (collectively up to 25% of GL receipts). Examples of good-fit accounts: A mid-sized contractor performing commercial interior and selective structural demolition with on-site salvage and debris recycling. A salvage operator who specializes in controlled dismantling and scrap recovery with limited subcontracting. Underwriting Notes and Restrictions Minimum premium: $10,000 for General Liability. Subcontracting limits: not eligible if more than 25% of demolition operations are subcontracted to others. Ineligible operations: wrecking-ball demolition and blasting performed by the insured are excluded. Inspections and loss control reviews are commonly required for new and renewal accounts. Coverage Advantages Program tailored specifically to demolition/salvage exposures rather than placed in a broader construction marketplace.

APU's Auto Dealer's Pollution program provides a streamlined, standalone Site Pollution Liability solution designed specifically for small auto servicing operations. Many small dealers and shops find only limited add-on pollution riders or expensive, broad pollution policies that exceed their needs.

Overview of the Program from Amwins Underwriting This program is a dedicated Site Pollution Liability policy tailored for auto dealers, repair and servicing centers, and related operations.

Appetite and Typical Restrictions Good fit: small to mid-size auto dealers and service shops, single-location or small multiples with routine maintenance operations. Less suitable: large-scale body shops with heavy historic contamination, major fueling facilities, sites with active regulatory cleanup orders, or locations with frequent off-site hazardous waste hauling under the insured’s control. Tank schedules and disclosures of any prior releases are required for underwriting when applicable. Example Account Scenarios You have a family-owned 3-bay repair shop with an on-site 100-gallon above-ground oil tank and routine oil change operations — this program can provide dedicated pollution limits and cleanup coverage without the cost of a full commercial pollution policy. An independent dealer with a small lube center and a non-regulated underground tank (previously installed and disclosed) that needs scheduled tank coverage and the ability to carry a retroactive date from the prior carrier. Why Place This Business with Amwins Underwriting Amwins Underwriting offers a targeted program designed for the needs of small auto servicing operations, combining focused coverage features, flexible underwriting, and access to a reputable carrier (Berkley Specialty Underwriting Managers).
