wrap
A general contractor is typically the party responsible for providing primary insurance coverage on the contract. This coverage must include protection for the work done by and the exposures resulting from the use of subcontractors. This includes coverages such as general liability and workers compensation but may also include business auto exposures. In order to obtain the necessary coverage, insurers may have to develop special programs and manuscript or tailoring endorsements to clarify the extent of the protection and who/what it encompasses. It is sometimes referred to simply as a "wrap."
