Argo is one of the few insurance brokerages with the expertise and experience to structure a comprehensive insurance program that protects "green" certification—from pre-construction consultation to building completion. As members of the US Green Building Council (USGBC), we can facilitate the "greening" of your development or your property portfolio.
"Green" buildings have fewer risks. That's because the certification process ensures that the electrical, HVAC, and plumbing systems are all in optimal working order, reducing the possibility of a loss and decreasing the potential for Construction Defect claims for new projects.
Argo offers specialized insurance coverage crafted to avoid potential gaps in traditional Commercial, Builders Risk and General Liability coverage. Our coverage is specifically designed for properties that have been "green" certified by the USGBC or the Green Building Institute (GBI). The insurance covers the replacement of all energy efficient materials and systems that qualify as part of the "green" building, and includes Property Upgrade coverage and "Green" Building Commissioning Expense.
