Connect coverage to the actual operation
Remodeling work often occurs inside occupied or partially occupied buildings where existing finishes, utilities, residents, customers, and neighboring spaces remain exposed. Structural changes, additions, high-value interiors, water shutoffs, dust, security, and subcontractor coordination deserve attention.
Risks to review
- Damage to existing structures, finishes, contents, and utilities
- Water, fire, dust, theft, and occupant injury
- Structural changes, design questions, and completed-work claims
- Subcontractor, vehicle, tool, and project-delay exposure
Information to prepare
- Revenue by residential, commercial, structural, and specialty remodeling
- Average and largest project, occupied-work percentage, and territory
- Subcontracted trades, contracts, design responsibility, and permits
- Protection of property, shutoff, hot-work, dust, security, and loss controls
Frequently asked questions
Why is work in occupied buildings different?
People, contents, business operations, utilities, access, security, and existing property remain exposed while construction is underway.
Should design-build remodeling be identified?
Yes. Design responsibility, drawings, selections, engineering, code advice, and project-management services may introduce professional exposures beyond construction work.
