General contractor insurance protects your construction business from the unique risks of building projects, employee injuries, and liability claims. According to OSHA, construction is among the most hazardous industries — and as the general contractor, you carry responsibility for your crews, your subs, and the project itself. Whether you're a residential builder or a commercial contractor, First Underwriters builds the specialized program you need to bid with confidence.
Illustrative examples of how a single construction exposure escalates — and the coverage that stands between it and everything you've built.

Since 1992 we've insured Pacific Northwest contractors — we understand construction risk, Washington L&I, prevailing-wage and public-works projects, and OSHA requirements. Not a generic policy off a shelf.
Need a certificate for a new project? We issue same-day COIs with proper additional-insured endorsements, waivers of subrogation, and primary-coverage language — and we track your subcontractors' certificates so gaps don't fall back on you.
Direct surety relationships for bid, performance, and payment bonds help you qualify for larger and public-works projects — and the SBA Surety Bond Program can help smaller contractors qualify. When a claim hits, we manage it end to end. See our other business insurance solutions.

Descriptions are general summaries for education and are not a statement of coverage, an offer, or a binder, and the coverage builder is a starting point for discussion rather than a quote or coverage determination. The scenarios and dollar figures shown are illustrative examples, not guarantees or representations about specific companies; actual coverage, limits, and eligibility are governed solely by the terms, conditions, and exclusions of your issued policies and are subject to underwriting.
