Companies in the construction industry are BITCO's largest class of business. With more than 80 years providing insurance to general contractors, you know your business will be well protected.
Whether you’re a builder or designer, general contractors like you are the largest class of business we insure at BITCO. We have policies that are specifically designed to address a wide array of risk types, business sizes and special coverage needs.
We believe our consistent, stable and responsive approach to the commercial construction industry has helped us develop many long-term relationships with our customers in the construction industry.
The BITCO general contracting customer is typically a medium- to large-sized operation that has been in business for several years, is well managed and financially stable. Our core customers specialize in the construction of new buildings with a particular emphasis on commercial construction.
We look for contractors who have a history of responding aggressively to controllable losses and the circumstances that give rise to them. Management involvement and disciplined risk control practices, including risk transfer, are critical to a contractor’s implementation of a successful risk management and insurance program. Our customers also value having a partner who can assist them with establishing a strong safety culture.
BITCO’s emphasis on relationships helps develop the type of rapport and open lines of communication needed to help contractors effectively control the costs of their insurance programs. Through periodic visits to our customers' worksites, we develop ongoing, up-to-date information on their operations and we are able to be responsive to their changing needs. Our risk control, claims and underwriting personnel are all well attuned to the needs of general contractors and the complex contractual relationships that are inherent to their business operations.
For many contractors, BITCO represents the best in specialized local underwriting expertise, high-impact customer service and financial security.
