According to Builders Insurance Group, A.M. Best said the rating reflects the company’s “strong profitability, adequate capitalization and strong market presence. These attributes are reflective of the dominant market share position as a provider of workers’ compensation in Georgia … Consistent profitability, combined with the group’s conservatism in establishing its loss reserves, is demonstrated in the equities embedded within the carried loss reserve position.”

Builders Insurance Group asserted its success and financial growth can be directly attributed to strong support from the Home Builders Association of Georgia (HBAG), its agency network and policyholder loyalty. With more than $35 million in policyholder surplus, the company is well positioned for the future.
