New Mexico operating context
Wildfire, drought, flash flooding, freeze, altitude, remote operations, and long travel distances can influence business exposures.
This context does not determine coverage by itself. Address, services, payroll, revenue, vehicles, property construction, contracts, loss history, and requested limits can change the appropriate market and policy structure.
Operations this guide may include
- Concrete flatwork, sidewalks, driveways, and slabs
- Foundations, footings, walls, and structural concrete
- Brick, block, stone, veneer, and masonry restoration
- Pavers, hardscape, decorative concrete, and related site work
