Wrap-Up Liability Insurance (OCIP) for Construction Projects

Wrap-up liability insurance is designed for large or complex construction projects where multiple contractors, trades, and stakeholders are involved. Instead of each party carrying separate liability policies, a single wrap-up policy provides consistent coverage for the entire project.

We help owners and contractors structure OCIP programs that reduce coverage gaps, control costs, and simplify risk management.

What Is Wrap-Up Liability Insurance

Wrap-up liability insurance provides a single liability policy covering multiple parties involved in a construction project. This can include owners, general contractors, subcontractors, and consultants.

By consolidating coverage, wrap-up programs eliminate inconsistencies between individual policies and create a unified risk framework for the duration of the project.

OCIP Explained

Owner Controlled Insurance Program (OCIP)
An OCIP is arranged by the project owner and provides liability coverage for contractors and trades working on the project.

 

Key Benefits of Wrap-Up Liability Insurance

Wrap-up programs offer several advantages:

  • Consistent coverage terms for all parties
  • Reduced coverage gaps and disputes
  • Improved claims coordination
  • Potential cost efficiencies on large projects
  • Clear risk allocation across contracts

When structured properly, wrap-up insurance improves both project control and predictability.

Common Issues With Wrap-Up Insurance Programs

Problems often arise when wrap-up programs are poorly designed or communicated. Common issues include:

  • Inadequate limits for project scope
  • Excluded trades or activities
  • Misalignment with contractual indemnities
  • Confusion over claims reporting
  • Gaps between wrap-up and non-wrap-up work

Early planning and proper structuring help prevent these issues.
