I am the Risk Manager for a Busy General Contractor in Colorado. Can you tell me if it is easy for a construction sub contractor to obtain an endorsement for addl. insured on completed operations per our contract requirements? I am hearing that yes it is readily available and reasonable in cost from 1 agent, and no its difficult to find this type of coverage from most of the other agents.

Hi Mr. Busy General Contractor in Colorado,
Yes, it should be fairly easy for a sub contractor to obtain an additional insured endorsement for completed operations on there commercial policy. This is usually on a per job basis. The premium for this could vary, depending what company your insured with and/or how big the job is.
I want to make sure I am understanding you. The job you are working on, the additional insured is requesting an completed operations endorsement from you, so you are also requiring your sub contractors to have it...correct?
I HOPE THIS HELPS!
THANKS!
AGENT CLINT

It is available in NJ for a premium & must be endorsed onto a policy as the blanket additional insured endorsements usually only appy to ongoing operations. Also, make sure his coverage and endorsement renew for a few years because the completed operations hazard will still exist, even though the contractor may be out of business - in which case he would need discontinued operations coverage.

In NH it is a simple process to add Additional Insureds on to your policy. Depending on the type of policy you have, it is either a $30 charge, or there is no cost at all.
