Wishing you a Happy Halloween from TrueNorth Companies! 🎃

All organizations carry unique risk and the construction industry is no exception. Between jobsite hazards, regulatory challenges, and exposures that vary from project to project, many construction companies struggle to find success without the proper resources and support. Despite the risk, local construction companies, Ken-Way Excavating and Twenty40 Building Concepts, are playing vital roles in community revitalization and expansion.

TrueNorth has spent the last twenty-plus years creating partnerships, building industry acumen and engineering solutions that extend beyond the insurance policy. Learn how we can help your business address risk and align solutions to find success👉 https://bit.ly/3NItMHT

All organizations carry unique risk and the construction industry is no exception. Between jobsite hazards, regulatory challenges, and exposures that vary from project to project, many construction companies struggle to succeed without the proper resources and support.

Despite the risk, local construction companies, Ken-Way Excavating and Twenty40 Building Concepts, are playing vital roles in community revitalization and expansion. With no shortage of multimillion-dollar projects in the pipeline, these companies have had to rework their understanding of insurance to maintain their competitive edge and protect their people – elevating it from a necessary line-item expense to a partnership they can leverage to overcome complexity, scale operations and secure meaningful opportunities.
