What Builders Are All About:

Builders within this industry design and build both single family and multi-family homes. For-sale builders maintain ownership of the land, while buyers will own the home. Other general contractors will construct and sell detached homes, townhouses, row houses or other types of homes that include the sale of the land. Companies building multi-family homes will typically build high-rise apartments, condominiums or even townhouse apartments.

General Liability insurance is often considered to be the core coverage, particularly for businesses that regularly physically interact with customers or sell physical goods. In addition, many businesses have a contract, like a loan or a lease, requiring that they have this coverage.
