In Episode 112 of Law and Mortar, Trent Cotney and John Kenney discuss two topics that are top of mind for contractors: emerging opportunities in data center construction and the rising challenge of insurance renewals and risk management.

As data centers and warehouses continue to drive construction activity, Trent explains why contractors should capitalize on these opportunities while recognizing that market conditions can change quickly.

The conversation then shifts to one of the largest expenses facing contractors today—insurance. John shares why successful renewals begin long before policies expire and why partnering with the right insurance professionals can significantly impact both coverage and cost.

Topics include:

• The current boom in data center and warehouse construction
• Why contractors should avoid assuming today's opportunities will last forever
• Insurance renewals and proactive planning strategies
• Building effective risk management programs
• Finding insurance agents who truly understand construction and roofing
• Why coverage and expertise matter more than simply chasing the lowest price
• Updates on the upcoming FRSA 104th Convention and Expo

Whether you're evaluating new markets or preparing for your next insurance renewal, this episode provides practical advice to help protect your business and improve profitability.
