Builders Mutual
Built for builders. Built in North Carolina.
Overview
Builders Mutual was born out of a crisis in the North Carolina construction industry. In 1984, homebuilders across the state were being priced out of workers' compensation coverage, or couldn't get it at all. The North Carolina Home Builders Association responded by creating a self-insured fund, and eventually the independent mutual insurance company that serves contractors across the Southeast today.
