Completed Operations Insurance
Priority: Medium
Executive Overview
In the construction industry, your reputation and financial security extend far beyond project completion.
Completed Operations Insurance represents a critical component of comprehensive risk management,
providing essential protection for work performed and projects delivered. This coverage ensures your business
remains protected during warranty periods, defect claims, and long-term liability exposures that can emerge months
or even years after project handover.
Alliance Integration Advantage
Our integrated approach combines automated warranty management systems,
real-time coverage tracking, and comprehensive project documentation to create a
seamless protection framework that works as hard as you do.
Understanding Completed Operations Insurance
Completed Operations Insurance, also known as Products-Completed Operations Coverage, protects contractors against
liability claims arising from work that has been completed and turned over to the client. Unlike general liability
insurance that covers ongoing operations, this specialized coverage addresses the unique risks that emerge after
project completion.
Why This Coverage is Critical
The construction industry faces increasing scrutiny regarding workmanship quality and long-term performance.
Modern construction projects involve complex systems, advanced materials, and integrated technologies that can
fail or cause damage long after the initial work is complete. Without proper coverage, a single defect claim can:
Drain cash reserves through unexpected legal costs
Damage hard-earned professional reputation
Limit future project opportunities
Create personal financial liability for business owners
Disrupt ongoing operations and client relationships
Real-World Example: A commercial HVAC contractor completed a major office building project in
2019. Two years later, a design flaw in the ductwork system caused water damage to multiple floors during a severe
storm. The resulting claim exceeded $400,000 in damages, legal fees, and business interruption costs. Completed
Operations Insurance covered the entire claim, protecting the contractor's business and reputation.
Comprehensive Coverage Areas
Workmanship Defects
Protection against claims arising from faulty installation, poor craftsmanship, or failure to meet
specifications in completed work.
Design-Build Liability
Coverage for design errors and omissions when contractors provide both design and construction services.
Material Failure
Protection when installed materials fail and cause property damage or injury, even if the installation was
performed correctly.
Warranty Claims
Coverage for warranty-related repairs and associated damages during agreed-upon warranty periods.
Third-Party Damages
Protection against claims from parties affected by completed work, including adjacent property owners and
building occupants.
Legal Defense
Comprehensive legal representation and defense costs, regardless of claim validity or final outcome.
