Services
Subsidence
In the context of contractor's insurance, subsidence refers to the gradual sinking or settling of the ground's surface. This can be caused by a variety of factors, both natural and human-made, and is a significant concern for land improvement contractors.
Underground Property Damage
(UPD) refers to damage to property that is beneath the surface of the ground or water. This is a critical risk for contractors involved in excavation, grading, trenching, and other land improvement activities.
OCIP
OCIP (Owner-Controlled Insurance Program) is a specialized type of "wrap-up" insurance. It's an alternative to the traditional model where each contractor and subcontractor on a project buys their own individual insurance policies.
