May Harris hosts Bill Brennan,  Principal, CRO of CMR Risk & Insurance Services, to discuss the often overlooked necessity of insurance for a nonprofit.

Episode 143: Next insurance Insurance: It's not often front of mind when the daily demands from your jobs keep piling on. But when something bad happens, it's the safety net every builder needs.   Today on “The Building Code,” Zach and Charley showcase Buildertrend's newest partner, Next Insurance, an online insurer of over 300,000 small businesses. Product manager Susan Tieh joins the podcast to highlight how Next quickly delivers a range of coverages protecting builders against construction and everyday liabilities.   WHAT INSURANCE TRENDS HAS NEXT INSURANCE SEEN THE LAST TWO YEARS? “With the more severe weather that we've seen in the last couple years, we actually have seen more claims for property damage due to weather. That could be wind, hail, freezing temperatures. That's been something we've just been noticing more of. The other trend I'll mention is people talked about this during the pandemic, especially, but a lot of homeowners were doing more home renovations. It's this big demand for construction. Insurance is really important as you take on more projects because really the more work you do, the more risks there are.” WHAT'S A COMMON MISPERCEPTION ABOUT INSURANCE IN CONSTRUCTION? “There's this perception that you buy insurance and you're covered, no matter what kind of work you do, ‘I bought insurance, I should be good for anything.' But it's actually really important to accurately say what you do when you're doing that insurance application. For example, our general contractors, they do a range of things, and I kind of ask them what are the activities that you do? But for us, for example, and for most insurance companies, something like roofing, that's considered pretty high risk, because if something goes wrong, it's usually a big claim. If you don't tell us that you do roofing, we're not going to cover you for roofing because roofing's expensive in terms of the risk for the insurance company.”   LINKS AND MORE   Related content: Head to Next Insurance's blog for insightful articles on construction, business and more.   Next has a new mobile app – download it and learn more here.

Jared Banes is a Reno native and a fully-licensed insurance broker specializing in commercial insurance. He currently holds a Construction Risk and Insurance Specialist (CRIS) designation. Jared shares what business owners need to look out for in their general liability policies and to really read the fine print when renewal comes around because insurance companies may be putting in language that could limit your COVID-19 coverage.   Highlights: Now that things are opening back up. What happens if you have a visitor in the facility? How do general liability policies protect businesses? Every claim will be unique, but Jared hopes to help provide you with a starting point. What classifies as ‘bodily injury’ inside your insurance policy? There will be a pollution inclusion in your general liability policy. COVID-19 is a virus, not a bacteria or mold, so you might not fall under a ‘mold exclusion.’ Because each policy is different, you want to identify if yours has a mold or disease exclusion. Some insurance companies are allowing for insurance changes during the crisis. Make sure your insurance company is not adding exclusions that might limit coverage for COVID-19 during your renewal. Make sure you’re following your local state and federal guidelines as you begin opening your doors to the public. Document what you’re doing. Be proactive.   Resources: Suttonhague.com Calnevalaw.com Lpins.net
