The Contractor Risk Audit

Most contractors are exposed and don't know it

After years of reviewing contractor programs across Georgia, we consistently find the same issues — even among well-run companies.

Coverage Gaps

Inland marine, builders risk, and umbrella policies are frequently missing or sized for projects you completed three years ago — not the ones you're bidding today.

Premium Waste

Agents who don't shop your account annually cost you thousands. We routinely find 15–30% in savings just by marketing the program to competing carriers.

Bonding Capacity Ceiling

Your financials often support more capacity than your current surety is giving you. The right relationship and financial presentation unlock larger project eligibility.

Classification Errors

Incorrect class codes on your GL or WC policies lead to audit surprises. A proper classification review before renewal prevents costly year-end adjustments.

Subcontractor Risk Transfer

If your subs don't carry adequate limits — or you're not collecting COIs properly — their liability becomes yours. This is one of the most common exposures we find.

No Proactive Strategy

Insurance shouldn't be a transaction that happens once a year. The best programs are built with a 3-year plan: growing coverage, bonding capacity, and carrier relationships intentionally.

Surety & Bonding

Bonding is your license to grow

In Georgia, contractors need a $25,000 license bond to operate. But that's just the baseline. The real opportunity is in contract surety — bid bonds, performance bonds, and payment bonds that unlock public projects and larger commercial work. We help you build a bonding program strategically so your capacity grows with your ambitions.

Our bonding approach

Assess your current single-job and aggregate limits
Review financials through a surety underwriter's lens
Connect you with A-rated surety markets for contractors your size
Coordinate with your CPA for optimal financial presentation
Build a 12–24 month capacity growth roadmap
Position you for public bids requiring Miller Act compliance

How to Increase Your Bonding Capacity

Your surety evaluates three things: character, capacity, and capital. Here's how to strengthen each one to qualify for bigger jobs.

Choosing an Agent vs. a Risk Advisor

A transactional agent sells you a policy. A risk advisor builds a program. The difference can mean hundreds of thousands in claim outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the questions experienced contractors ask most.

We are a Georgia-based independent risk advisory focused exclusively on contractors. We don't work for any single insurance company — we work for you. Our advisors are licensed professionals who specialize in construction risk, surety bonding, and building insurance programs that grow with your business.

We review your current insurance program — GL, WC, commercial auto, inland marine, builders risk, umbrella, and bonding — to identify coverage gaps, premium savings opportunities, and bonding capacity improvements. You'll receive a written summary of our findings and recommendations with no obligation.

We specialize in established contractors who have the track record, financials, and ambition to benefit from a strategic risk program. Our carrier and surety relationships are built to serve contractors at this level, which means better pricing and higher bonding capacity for you.

Most agents sell policies. We build programs. That means we look at your entire risk picture — insurance, bonding, subcontractor risk, classification accuracy — and create a multi-year strategy. We also re-market your account to competing carriers annually, which most captive or complacent agents don't do.

We work with contractors across the entire state of Georgia and into the surrounding Southeast. Whether you're based in metro Atlanta, the coast, or south Georgia, we have carrier relationships and market access to serve you.

No. The assessment and consultation are completely free with no obligation. If we identify meaningful improvements, we'll present our recommendations and you decide if you'd like to proceed.
