Examples:

 

  1. John is renovating his townhouse. His contractor is participating in the Shield Indemnity APPC insurance program.  The job is estimated at $750,000 at time of permitting.  Due to the size of the job they have selected $1,000,000 limit per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate limit of insurance for the job.

First $100,000 rating:                $100 X $1.00 = $100 premium

Next $400,000:                         $400 X .75 =     $300 premium

Remaining                                $250 X .60 =     $150                

Total Rated premium:                                        $550.

 

Minimum Premium for $1,000,000/$2,000,000 limits = $197

 

$550 > $197 therefore job premium is $550

 

 

  1. Michelle is renovating a 2 bedroom row house in Adams Morgan and adding an extra bedroom. The construction will impact the party walls and chimney. The total contract price is $150,000.  Due to the size of the job Michelle is interested in pricing for all limits available.

 

 

First $100,000 rating:  $100 X $1.00 =    $100

Next $50,000:               $50 X .75 =        $38

Total                                                    $138

Michelle can buy limits as high at $500,000 each occurrence and $1,000,000 aggregate for $138.  However, if she opts for the $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 Aggregate the premium will be $197.
