GC Commercial General Liability Coverage

I understand why carriers associate Condo/PUD construction with greater liability risk (I am sure being based in Philadelphia, a jury friendly city doesn't help either) but curious which carriers others are finding to price coverage without this exclusion and also price the coverage competitively.This also serves as a reminder to review the coverage when you hire a GC for more substantial or unique construction assignments.

Has anyone heard of a company called NOMAD
13 January 2025 | 8 replies
Nomad also held the renter's deposit hostage even after I cleared the transfer with no damages to be charged.I had to remind Nomad there is a difference between “can” and should” , while you “can” hold a deposit longer it “should” only be done when there is a question about damages.My bank liked the guarantee, the disorganization inside Nomad and the horrible vendor management would cause me not to use them again.
