Cover Your High-Risk Construction Projects and Related Liabilities with Wrap-Up Insurance
From heavy-duty industrial equipment to working at height and handling building materials, construction worksites involve many safety hazards that could result in potential lawsuits and liabilities. A Wrap-Up plan is a consolidated insurance policy where a controlling entity (usually the owner or general contractor) purchases insurance coverage for all the trades working on the job site.
That’s why, at Riverbend Insurance, we offer comprehensive wrap-up insurance to provide adequate liability protection for the owners, contractors, and subcontractors involved in the construction project. Whether a third party suffers an onsite injury or an employee falls off a ladder, we’ve got you covered at Riverbend.
Our Wrap-Up Insurance Components
- Insurance Agent – Organizes/writes the program for the insured
- Program Sponsor – The entity purchasing the policy
- Wrap-Up Administrator – Manages all information related to the wrap-up insurance program
Our Wrap-Up Insurance Elements
Recognizing Financial Risks
It involves identifying the financial impact of a wrap-up insurance policy, which include:
- Cost Savings or Losses – While filing claims often may cause losses to the sponsor, fewer claims help them save.
- Collateral – Assets serve as security against future liability. As a sponsor, you’ll have to provide collateral to utilize the program’s loss funds.
Claims Management
Generally, program sponsors hire a third-party administrator (TPA) to handle claims management tasks, including:
- Selecting insurance carriers, identifying liabilities, and negotiating insurance coverages and terms
- Creating a realistic return-to-work program
- Hiring an efficient wrap-up administration team to manage the paperwork
- Crafting cost-saving protocols for the loss fund
- Coordinating with the insurance carrier and the agent to handle outstanding claims

FAQs
1. What is wrap-up exclusion?
This implies that contractors’ insurance carriers won’t cover you whenever you work on wrap-up projects. So, a wrap-up insurance policy may exclude coverage for completed construction projects if the policy has expired.
2. What are OCIP and CCIP?
An OCIP is an owner-controlled wrap-up insurance program, and a CCIP is a contractor-controlled wrap-up insurance program.
3. How is OCIP different from CCIP?
In an OCIP, the owner pays the premium and manages the program elements, whereas, in a CCIP, the contractor will do so.
