General Liability Insurance for glulam & mass timber

Third-party bodily injury and property damage protection built for glulam fabricators and mass-timber erectors — jobsite accidents, beam-handling incidents, and the completed-operations claims that can surface years after a project is finished.

General Liability Insurance — glulam and mass-timber context

What it covers

  • Third-party bodily injury (jobsite visitor, GC, subcontractor, public)
  • Property damage from beam handling, lifting, and erection operations
  • Completed-operations coverage for claims arising after project closeout
  • Products liability for fabricated glulam members you've manufactured
  • Medical payments to minor third-party injuries
  • Defense costs and legal fees, often outside policy limits

Who it's for

  • Glulam fabricators shipping structural beams to project sites
  • Mass-timber erection contractors installing glulam, CLT, and NLT
  • Timber-frame builders and design-build mass-timber firms
  • Heavy-timber subcontractors on arenas, schools, and churches

Why CCA

  • Completed-operations limits sized for the long tail of structural products
  • Beam-handling and crane/lift exposure explicitly addressed
  • Limits scaled for both residential timber framing and large commercial mass-timber
General Liability Insurance — FAQ

Common questions about general liability insurance

GL covers third-party bodily injury and property damage caused by your product or work, including completed-operations claims that arise after installation. A structural failure claim typically does trigger GL. However, because the damages in a structural-member failure can be severe, GL alone is rarely enough — that's why glulam fabricators carry dedicated product liability and often a professional/E&O line for design exposure. We'll structure all three so there are no gaps.

Yes — and quickly. Mass-timber project owners frequently require $2M, $5M, or more in combined limits. We layer GL with an umbrella/excess policy to reach those numbers and issue certificates of insurance fast so you don't lose the contract.
