OUR POLICY IS TO BUILD INSURANCE PROGRAMS FOR CONTRACTORS FROM THE GROUND UP.

Thanks to SRA, more and more contractors understand insurance isn't the only
solution to address risk exposure effectively. Our construction team, most with over
20 years of specialized experience in the construction industry, looks at a variety of
factors to streamline your entire insurance program.

WE HELP CONTRACTORS AVOID AND TRANSFER RISK.

  • Subcontract Document Audit — Construction is built on managing and delegating project risks. We look at your entire subcontract document management system to identify appropriate transfer opportunities.
  • Claims Review — We review your claims history and company operations to help identify ways to reduce claims, and therefore your overall insurance cost.
  • Company Operations — We review operations and contracts for ways to refocus your insurance, consolidate policies and transfer risk.
  • Experience Modification Rate Review (EMR) — We review for errors that could cost you money and, if needed, petition prior insurers and the NCCI for corrections.
