Coverage Recommendations for Colorado Springs Contractors

Construction Insurance FAQ — Colorado Springs, CO

Military construction at Fort Carson, Peterson SFB, and Schriever SFB requires Miller Act bonds, general liability meeting DoD minimums, workers compensation, and commercial auto. Space Command and Space Force projects may require additional professional liability and higher umbrella limits. USACE contract requirements apply to most Army installation construction.

Colorado's Construction Defect Action Reform Act creates significant liability for residential contractors, particularly in condo and townhome construction. Many insurers restrict or exclude this coverage. Colorado Springs' rapid residential growth means contractors must carefully address construction defect coverage in their general liability policies.
