In Africa, a new power plant delivers much-needed energy supplies to a developing nation’s energy grid. Across the world, a sports stadium in Texas welcomes fans for its inaugural game. Meanwhile in Southern California, prospective renters tour a newly completed apartment complex. The power plant, stadium and apartment complex share a common link: Wortham handled the insurance and risk management services for these construction projects.

Wortham works closely with virtually every segment in the construction industry across the U.S. and overseas, including:

  • General and sub-contractors in the commercial building trade
  • Interior, electrical, plumbing and HVAC
  • Highway, road, street and bridge construction
  • Power generation and utilities
  • Single and multi-family housing
  • Manufacturers of construction products.

We also have extensive experience in construction projects in the marine and energy industries.

Wortham’s team of specialists has an in-depth understanding and knowledge of the challenges faced by the construction industry. Clients benefit from our staff’s proven track record and wealth of experience in developing the right solutions to meet their individual needs. For example, Wortham’s Surety Bond team ranks as one of the largest in Texas, providing this essential service for construction clients and handling bonding requirements for over 200 firms.

For clients in the construction industry, we provide traditional insurance coverages as well as project-coordinated coverage, including owner controlled insurance programs (OCIPs) and rolling owner controlled insurance programs (ROCIPs). In addition, a special administrative team handles contractor controlled insurance programs (CCIPs).

Builder's Risk

Builder's Risk Insurance (or Course of Construction insurance) on a national or global basis is another expertise of the Wortham team. This specialized insurance is intended to protect structures while under construction. Materials, fixtures or appliances permanently affixed plus additions or alterations to existing buildings are also insured.
