- Builders Risk Insurance and OCIPs: Practical Market Insight for Food & Ag Construction Projects
A 3–4 minute read for project owners, finance leaders, and risk teams . Food & Agriculture companies are making some of the largest capital investments they’ve made in decades — new plants, expanded processing lines, cold storage facilities, and increasingly automated operations, that carry material financial and operational risk long before production ever begins. In today’s builders risk marketplace, insurance decisions made during construction can directly impact project timelines, cash flow, and long‑term balance sheet outcomes. Understanding current market dynamics — and whether tools like Owner‑Controlled Insurance Programs (OCIPs) belong in the conversation — has become a strategic necessity, not an administrative exercise. Below is a concise view of the current builder’s risk market, the coverage details that most often drive outcomes, and a plain language overview of OCIPs — an option many organizations have heard of, but few have evaluated properly. The Current Builders Risk Marketplace The builders risk marketplace is showing meaningful signs of strength, particularly for well-structured food and agriculture construction projects. Capacity has continued to expand, and carriers are actively seeking quality opportunities involving experienced developers, disciplined contractors, and clearly defined project scopes. While underwriting remains detail oriented, competition has increased — creating tangible opportunities for project owners who engage the market early and present risk effectively. Key market dynamics shaping today’s environment include: Improved carrier appetite and expanded capacity for clean food and ag projects, especially those with strong loss controls and reputable construction partners. Increased pricing competition on well‑defined projects, with carriers willing to differentiate through terms, sublimits, and coverage enhancements — not just premium. Higher construction values driven by labor, material, and equipment costs, making accurate reporting and limit strategy more important than ever. Heightened underwriting focus on water damage, phased occupancy, and project timelines, particularly for cold storage, automation‑heavy facilities, and specialty processing operations. Opportunities for broader coverage grants when owners can clearly articulate commissioning plans, equipment testing protocols, and contingency strategies. For organizations willing to approach builders risk placement as a strategic exercise rather than a transactional purchase, the current market environment is favorable. Well‑positioned projects are seeing better outcomes across pricing, structure, and coverage — while less prepared risks are increasingly exposed to restrictive terms or late‑stage underwriting friction. The difference lies in how deliberately the project and its insurance strategy are aligned from the outset. Key Coverage Considerations When Evaluating Builders Risk Options In today’s builders risk environment, coverage structure often matters as much as pricing. For food and agriculture projects — where margins, timelines, and equipment performance are tightly linked — small coverage decisions made during construction can create outsized financial consequences after a loss. A thoughtful review should focus not only on what is covered, but how and when coverage responds. Several areas warrant particular attention: Soft costs and delay‑in‑completion coverage, designed to protect against lost revenue, continued fixed expenses, and additional financing or operational costs caused by covered delays. These exposures are frequently underestimated — and often uncovered — until a setback occurs. Equipment testing and commissioning coverage, which is critical for projects involving automated processing lines, refrigeration systems, or specialty equipment where losses often surface during startup rather than construction. Catastrophe protections such as flood, wind, and earthquake, which remain highly location‑dependent and are commonly subject to sublimits, waiting periods, or restrictive conditions that vary widely by carrier. Coverage for materials in transit, off‑site storage, and temporary works, all of which are essential on projects facing supply chain disruptions or phased delivery schedules. A clearly defined project period, including provisions for early occupancy, partial handover, or phased startup — scenarios that can unintentionally terminate or limit coverage if not addressed upfront. These coverage details are not academic. They determine whether a builders risk policy meaningfully protects the project’s financial outcome — or simply satisfies a contractual requirement. In many cases, the most impactful improvements come not from changing carriers, but from asking better questions earlier in the process. What Is an OCIP — and How Can It Benefit Your Project? An Owner Controlled Insurance Program (OCIP) is a project‑specific insurance program purchased and managed by the project owner. Instead of each contractor and subcontractor providing their own insurance, key coverage is consolidated under a single, coordinated program for the duration of the project. Most utilized for General & Excess Liability. For large food and agriculture construction projects — particularly those involving multiple contractors, long timelines, or phased expansions — OCIPs can offer a more intentional way to manage cost, coverage consistency, and risk across the entire jobsite. While not appropriate for every project, OCIPs are often overlooked simply because they are unfamiliar. When structured correctly, OCIPs can deliver meaningful advantages, including: Cost efficiency, by eliminating overlapping contractor insurance premiums that are otherwise built into project bids. Uniform coverage terms and limits, ensuring all parties on the project operate under the same insurance structure, without gaps or inconsistencies. Centralized claims management, providing greater visibility, faster resolution, and clearer accountability if an incident occurs. Enhanced loss control and safety oversight, supported by a single, coordinated program rather than fragmented contractor approaches. Predictable insurance budgeting, particularly beneficial for large, multi‑year or multi‑phase facility expansion plans. OCIPs are not a one size‑fits‑all solution. Their value depends on project size, complexity, contractor mix, and risk tolerance. However, when evaluated thoughtfully and early in the planning process, they can be a powerful tool for aligning insurance strategy with broader project objectives — an option that many organizations never fully explore because their broker never brings it to the table. Closing Perspective Construction projects represent more than bricks, steel, and equipment — they represent capital at work and growth in motion. In a builders risk marketplace that continues to evolve, and with delivery models like OCIPs becoming more relevant for complex projects, the most successful owners are those who treat insurance as part of the planning process, not an afterthought. Evaluating market conditions, coverage structure, and alternative approaches early can help reduce friction, control cost, and protect outcomes long before a facility comes online. At Cottingham & Butler, we work extensively with food and agriculture organizations navigating large construction projects, facility expansions, and multi‑phase developments. Our role is not simply to place insurance, but to help clients understand how market dynamics, coverage details, and program structure intersect with their broader project and financial objectives. For companies with a project on the horizon, a forward-looking conversation can often surface opportunities and considerations that traditional, transactional approaches miss — creating clarity, confidence, and better alignment as ground is broken. If you have a facility project upcoming — or even in early planning — we’re always available to pressure test the insurance strategy, identify potential gaps, and outline options worth considering.

- Transforming Talent: Maddie Pullen's Journey from Intern to HR Manager
Where did you attend college, and what was your major? I attended Clarke University and received a degree in Business Administration! How did you first hear about Cottingham & Butler and the intern program? I toured Cottingham & Butler during my freshman year in an introduction to business class. Nikki Goodchild was the campus recruiter at the time and gave our class a presentation in the lower level of the building. I left the site visit and immediately told all my friends and family that it was my dream to work at Cottingham & Butler someday. I knew the internship program was very competitive so I completed three different internships after that freshman classroom visit to prepare. In the fall of my junior year, I interviewed and was offered an internship position with Human Resources. Describe your experience in the Cottingham & Butler internship program. What did you learn during the program that you still use today in your full-time position? My internship experience was life-changing. I had a whole team of individuals who helped me complete my final project to highlight my hard work and eagerness to work at the company full-time. The internship pushes you outside your comfort zone, provides real-world experiences, and prepares you for a career after college. I still use the organization skills, presentation concepts, and meeting etiquette that I learned from the internship experience every day. The internship taught me to jump in and never give up, which I feel is a lifelong lesson. I also made incredible friends that I'm still close with to this day. In short, the internship was my launchpad to a fulfilling professional career. What’s your favorite memory from your time as an intern? My favorite memory from the internship was a Saturday afternoon river float down the Maquoketa River. Our internship class was very close and we wanted to spend time outside of work making memories. We spent the afternoon on the river laughing and enjoying our time together. What do you think the Cottingham & Butler internship program offers that other internships don’t? The Cottingham & Butler internship allows you to work on real projects that will impact the company. I completed a benefits benchmark survey that involved 30 other companies both local and nationwide. It was utilized both internally to vet our benefits package and with our employee benefits division for their client analysis. The project was referenced for years after its completion and had a major impact on our offerings. The internship helps you understand what a real job will be like after college and provides you with a team that cares about you and your success. What drew you back to Cottingham & Butler after graduation? After my internship, I stayed on part-time through my last semester of school to help the Human Resources team. I continued to learn more about Human Resources and ultimately started full-time after graduation as a Human Resources Generalist. I loved the team and the company as a whole, so it was no surprise I wanted to stay on for the future. I had also attended college in Dubuque and loved the city, so I was excited to begin my life as a young adult in Cottingham & Butler and Dubuque. How have you seen yourself evolve as a professional at Cottingham & Butler? I began my career as a Human Resources Generalist, but have experienced a lot of growth in my time here. I eventually advanced to Benefits & Payroll Specialist, then Human Resources Supervisor, and finally my current role as Human Resources Manager. Cottingham & Butler continuously pushes you to the next level and rewards hard work. I didn't know a single thing about Human Resources when I began my internship and now I'm considered one of the experts on the Human Resources team . I know I want to continue my career at Cottingham & Butler because I'm truly in love with my job. This is a company that continues to grow, and so opportunities are endless. What do you love most about your current role? My favorite part of my position is providing resources to employees so they can be successful in their careers.

While there are the five categories, the distribution in each is not equivalent, as only about 16% of organizations are truly considered Innovators (2.5%) or Early Adopters (13.5%). This 16% is often known as the market leader in their respective field, as most competitors often lag behind adoption and copy ideas well after they are proven a success. While it is understandable that not every organization has the risk tolerance levels required to be a true innovator, finding ways to expedite that knowledge transfer is imperative for the remaining 84% of employers to have any competitive advantage in the market. In this session, participants will learn about the leading edge strategies being used by innovative employers to have a competitive edge in the Great Resignation. 4:00 PM – 5:00 PM | Optional Hors D’oeuvres and Happy Hour Presenters Olivia Walker Editor in Chief Dan Mitchell Assistant Manager Noah Patterson Programming Editor Tess Anderson Art Director Upcoming Events IN-PERSON Metalcasting Congress Happy Hour Attending the Metalcasting Congress 2026 in Grand Rapids?
