Inventory the contract sources

Start with the insurance article, exhibits, addenda, and bid instructions. Record the document revision behind every requirement.

Flag conflicts instead of selecting language silently. For construction insurance requirements estimate review, use this related guide as context while keeping the current project documents in control.

List required coverage

List each named policy or coverage requirement without interpreting beyond the text. Capture stated limits, duration, and named-party requirements. Identify required certificates, endorsements, or project-specific programs.

Separate project conditions

Separate ordinary company coverage from project-specific conditions. Record wrap-up, controlled-insurance, or owner program language for specialist review.

Identify responsibilities assigned to subcontractors or suppliers. When reviewing construction insurance requirements estimate review, consult AACE International for cost-engineering context, then apply it through the contractor’s own standards.

Build a documented cost basis

Request a written cost basis from the contractor’s broker or authorized source. Keep premiums, deductibles, bonds, taxes, and permits in separate estimate fields. Avoid presenting a provisional allowance as a confirmed insurance quote.

Close the review before release

Link each carried amount to its dated evidence. Escalate legal or coverage questions to qualified reviewers.

Freeze the final treatment with the estimate version and bid qualifications. For recurring construction insurance requirements estimate review records, an estimating support role can maintain inputs while final approval stays with the contractor.
