Founded to ensure peace of mind on the new frontier, we’ve been serving those who build our communities ever since. One of our specialties is middle market contracting risks, offering comprehensive coverage options including general liability, property, commercial auto, workers compensation, umbrella and more.

The breadth of coverage is just one reason to consider us for skilled and licensed trade contractors, according to Loren Sweigard, executive vice president at INSPRO, a Marsh McLennan Agency. “There's a lot of things that happen in construction. Columbia does all lines, from the general liability to the work comp.”

The risks in construction may be complex, yet at Columbia we work hard to find ways to partner with you. “Construction is one of those where not all clients fit all carriers. There are some unique coverages, essentially you go in and find out what those clients need, and you build the program,” he said. “We get to know what Columbia wants and get to know our clients, and we match them up.”

We offer extensive endorsements and add ons to elevate protection when needed, so you can rest assured your client is shielded from potential liabilities. “For us, Columbia is not an automatic no. If we bring a client to them, and maybe it's a little outside of the box, they listen to the story. They get to know the client as we talk—Columbia listens,” Sweigard said.

We strive to be more than an insurance provider—we are a partner in your growth. With our expertise and dedication to finding solutions, we help you and your clients navigate the complexities of coverage for their trade. We are here to help protect what they’ve worked so hard to build.  To learn more, contact your territory manager.
