Concrete work is heavy, physical, and unforgiving of mistakes. Mixers, forms, trucks, and crews moving between job sites all create exposure most standard policies don’t fully address. Here’s the coverage a Sioux Falls concrete business actually needs.
General Liability Insurance
This is your first line of defense. It covers injuries and property damage tied to your work, like a passerby tripping over equipment or a driveway pour damaging a neighboring structure. Most commercial contracts require proof of it before work starts. See our general liability page for coverage details.
Commercial Auto Insurance
Mixer trucks, dump trucks, and work vehicles need coverage built for business use, not a personal auto policy. Commercial auto protects those vehicles and covers you if a driver causes an accident on the way to a pour. Learn more on our business auto insurance page.
Workers’ Compensation
Concrete work involves heavy lifting, power tools, and physically demanding labor. If a crew member gets hurt on the job, workers’ comp covers medical bills and lost wages, and it protects your business from most related lawsuits. Details on our workers’ compensation page.
Contractor Insurance for Tools and Equipment
Mixers, saws, and forms spend a lot of time moving between job sites, where standard property coverage often doesn’t apply. Our contractor insurance page covers protection built for tools and equipment on the move.
Commercial Umbrella Insurance
A serious claim, like a structural failure or major injury, can exceed your regular policy limits fast. Umbrella insurance adds a layer of protection above your general liability and auto coverage. See our commercial umbrella insurance page for how it works.
Bundling Coverage
Many concrete businesses combine general liability and property protection into a Business Owners Policy to simplify their insurance and often save money. Our business owners insurance page breaks down how that bundling works.
What Drives Your Premium
Crew size, equipment value, project size, and claims history all factor into your rate. Larger commercial pours and municipal contracts often come with higher coverage requirements than residential work.
