Private reinsurance for construction.

Between the deductibles, the exclusions, and the risks few commercial carriers will quote (subcontractor default, hourly-wage disputes, performance standards, loss of a key contract), a contractor self-insures more than most owners realize. The Latitude Plan turns that retained risk into real policies issued by a licensed carrier and reinsured to a reinsurance company you own, with premiums recommended by an independent actuary against your actual exposure and set by the carrier.

Policies are priced by the carrier against an independent licensed actuary’s formal assessment of your underinsured and uninsured risks. Treat this list as a starting point.

The brief

A working example: a Missouri commercial contractor grossing $15M annually expenses roughly $1.5M per year in premium (about 10% of topline) across thirteen risk lines, with per-occurrence limits up to $3M on loss of a key customer or contract.

Exposure is retained in the contractor's own surplus, where, net of claims, underwriting profit and investment income could compound over time.
