Construction Specialty Group

For protection beyond the job site, TrueNorth's Construction Specialty Group (CSG) has you covered.

For over a decade, CSG has been a trusted resource in the construction industry.  We have earned the trust and confidence of our clients through our understanding of the complexities of the dynamic construction industry, and our steadfast commitment to client excellence. Helping our clients manage the risks inherent in the construction industry is not just our practice, it is our passion.  

Controlling an Experience Modification Rate (EMR) is critical to your business.  Not only is an EMR used by insurance companies to assess premiums, but it can also adversely affect your ability to qualify to bid on projects.

CSG offers safety training that helps to reduce hazards and prevent injuries at the job site, which contribute to a higher EMR.  Additionally, in the event an injury occurs, CSG can offer you valuable insight on the claim, including how it may impact your EMR over the next three years, and how much the claim may cost you to resolve.

With each new construction project, you encounter numerous contracts outlining your obligations. Particularly when a contract involves many parties, each may try to transfer the risk and responsibility to another.

CSG can help protect you – and your bottom line – by advising whether you have the requisite insurance coverage in place, and the cost of purchasing any additional coverage that may be necessary. CSG can also help you navigate the complexities of indemnification, so you know when you may be held responsible for compensating another party for damage or loss.

Although your project managers manage site safety and project deliverables, their priorities may not include ensuring that your subcontractors are complying with your contractual insurance, indemnification and certificate of insurance requirements.

CSG facilitates compliance by working with other agencies on your behalf to verify what coverage and endorsements your subcontractors have in place, then confirming their coverage aligns with their contractual commitments to you.
