Submission requirements for General contractors.

Direct answer. Start with a clear operations narrative, the requested coverage and effective date, currently valued loss runs, accurate schedules, and the 5 class-specific facts below. The current public class status is review case by case; Hedge still must confirm eligibility, route, and the exact market requirements.

Core packet

Build one internally consistent account.

  • Applicant information with the correct legal entities and a precise operations description
  • Requested lines, limits, effective date, and any contract or certificate requirements
  • Currently valued loss runs for the relevant entities, lines, and policy periods
  • Exposure schedules and supporting documents that reconcile to the application
  • Class-specific supplemental information and a direct explanation of difficult facts
Do not send from this checklist alone
