Today, we are pleased to announce the expansion of Shepherd’s insurance offerings to include admitted excess products, further enhancing coverage for clients in the commercial construction sector. These new excess options are designed to support Shepherd’s admitted primary lines — General Liability, Commercial Auto, and Workers’ Compensation — by providing seamless, complementary lead excess support.

Shepherd currently offers both supported and unsupported excess liability for contractor practice programs and project-specific placements, including OCIPs, CCIPs, and JVs. Our new admitted excess products will align with this scope and risk appetite.

Shepherd Savings, our technology-integration program for innovative clients, will also be supported by the new offerings. As a reminder, Shepherd Savings is a first of it's kind insurance offering that rewards contractors for their investments in construction technologies such as Procore, OpenSpace, Raken, and more.

The launch of these admitted products directly reflects feedback from our retail brokerage partners and underscores Shepherd’s commitment to delivering a differentiated product suite in a competitive market. Currently available in most U.S. states, Shepherd anticipates nationwide availability by year’s end.

Written on AM Best "A" rated paper (FSC XIII), Shepherd’s excess offerings reflect our dedication to stability, long-term partnerships, and comprehensive insurance solutions. This expansion is another step forward in our mission to provide innovative, tailored coverage solutions for construction clients nationwide.
