We were recently asked by a prospect, “What is the general consensus as to the minimum project size for a wrap-up to be feasible?” This is a question we get asked a lot.
To answer the question, it really depends on project location & type of wrap-up: bi-line (WC/GL) or mono-line (GL Only).
- For a bi-line wrap-up, single site, outside of NY, we estimate minimum project size should be $100M (Hard Cost CV).
- For a bi-line wrap-up, single site, in NY, we would say minimum project size today is ~$250M-$300M (Hard Cost CV), & financial feasibility at that volume, is questionable.
For a GL Only wrap-up, which are NOT currently available in NY & are mostly underwritten by E&S carriers, we have heard of GL-only projects less than $1M (Hard Cost CV), however these programs are mostly purchased for all of the Risk Management benefits, as they may be more costly than traditional insurance.
