Questions to ask
- What percentage of work is residential versus commercial or industrial, and does the contractor work on new construction, additions, or repair and renovation?
- Does the operation include shotcrete, gunite, mud-jacking, or soil stabilization work, or is it limited to conventional poured concrete?
- What is the owned vehicle and equipment fleet — mixer trucks, pump trucks, heavy haul — and are any vehicles under DOT authority?
- Does the contractor ever take on the role of general contractor or construction manager, or is all work performed as a subcontractor?
- Are subcontractors used, and if so, does the contractor collect certificates of insurance and require additional insured status?
- What are the largest recent projects by contract value, and do any contracts contain indemnification or additional insured language that might expand liability exposure?
- Has the contractor had any prior completed-operations, structural defect, or equipment-related claims?
- What states is the work performed in, and are workers' comp and auto filings needed in multiple jurisdictions?
