Crum & Forster Launches Admitted Construction Wrap-up Insurance Product
Crum & Forster (C&F) has announced an innovative new insurance solution designed for general contractors, the Admitted Construction Wrap-up Insurance Product. This offering aims to simplify the management of large construction projects by providing a cohesive insurance solution that integrates workers' compensation and general liability under a single program.
Addressing Complexities in Construction Projects

This streamlined approach not only reduces administrative burdens but also bolsters risk management capabilities across the project site.
“The launch of our Admitted Construction Wrap-up Insurance Product is a significant leap forward for contractors navigating complex construction projects,” said Douglas Cauti, Assistant Vice President at Crum & Forster. “By combining insurance coverage with specialized construction expertise and proactive risk management, we are enabling our clients to handle their projects with increased efficiency and confidence.”

By offering an all-encompassing insurance solution, Crum & Forster seeks to provide general contractors with additional control over insurance coverage and claims processes, ensuring smooth operations across job sites.
