Shepherd

🚨🚀 Milestone day for us at Shepherd! We’ve officially launched our Builder’s Risk program, led by Carl Feldhaus, CPCU, AMIM, ARM, CRIS — expanding our construction practice and rounding out our offering for project-based risks. This new program is the ideal compliment to our growing portfolio of construction casualty clients: • Strong capacity ($75M, and up to $150M on select risks) • Admitted paper nationwide via AGCS (A.M. Best A+) • Built for contractors, developers, and project owners It also brings Shepherd Savings to Inland Marine coverage for the first time — rewarding builders who use jobsite technologies with upfront discounts based on real project data. We can't wait to add more partners to this program, mitigating critical 1st party risks. This launch wouldn’t be possible without our new partners at Allianz, and we’re grateful for their support. We're so excited for what this unlocks and the opportunity to deliver more value to our brokers and insureds. We’re quoting now. 📩 submissions@withshepherd.com https://lnkd.in/gyi6qnHT
