Why Choose a Wrap Program?
- Assured coverage for all subcontractors
- No gaps in subcontractor insurance coverage granted on individual policies
- One defense representative in the event of a loss
- No fault allegations to be determined in the event of a loss - "one for all and all for one: claim investigation and settlement
- Less costly defense expense in the event of a loss
- Common goal of all subcontractors on site: safety and quality of work. Cooperation between trades is higher than might be otherwise.
- TPA services ease subcontract execution
- Assured coverage for all subcontractors on the project - no coverage lapses or insufficient limits
- Bid credit costs recovery from enrolled subcontractors to offset the wrap expenses
- Completed Operations extended for statute of repose, not to exceed 10 years

Why NOT Choose a Wrap Program?
- Previous bad experiences by subcontractors can result in resistance to working under a wrap program
- Difficulty lies within apportioning the subcontractor's premium contribution
- Determining subcontractor's fair participation in any deductible or SIR of the wrap, which is going to be higher than what an individual subcontractor might have on their own off-site policy coverage
- Administrative expenses not contemplated in bid letting or contract award
- One limit of coverage shared by all entities of the wrap
- Defense costs are inside the limit of liability, potentially forcing higher coverage limits, therefore increasing the costs of construction
- Fear of the inability to recover expenses in the home's sales price
