Frontier's subcontractor agreements require specific insurance minimums. Here's what you need to be Frontier-compliant and get on their approved vendor list for Build It Right projects.
Frontier typically requires $1M–$2M per occurrence / $2M–$4M aggregate GL from fiber installation subcontractors. Covers property damage (including damage to existing copper plant or underground infrastructure), bodily injury, and completed operations. Frontier must be named as Additional Insured.
Frontier requires statutory Workers' Comp from all subcontractors in all states. Required for aerial lashing, underground directional boring, fiber splicing, and FTTH drop installation crews. State law compliance plus Frontier's contract requirements make this non-negotiable.
Frontier requires $1M combined single limit Commercial Auto covering all vehicles used on Frontier work — bucket trucks, splice vans, directional boring machines, and trailers. Frontier must be named as Additional Insured on your auto policy as well.
For Build It Right FTTH projects, ROW work, and multi-county Frontier deployments, an Umbrella of $2M–$5M on top of GL is commonly required. Larger build contracts may require higher limits. We can efficiently issue these umbrella limits from A-rated carriers.
Frontier subcontractors using high-value fusion splicers, OTDRs, reel trailers, and directional boring equipment need Inland Marine to protect tools and equipment between Frontier job sites and in transit across 25 states.
Frontier's subcontractor agreements require Additional Insured endorsements on GL and Auto. The correct Frontier entity name varies by project and region. We issue Frontier-compliant COIs promptly with the correct entity name for each Build It Right project or territory.

Common questions from fiber contractors looking to get insured and compliant for Frontier Communications subcontract work.
Frontier Communications typically requires: General Liability ($1M–$2M per occurrence / $2M–$4M aggregate), statutory Workers' Compensation, Commercial Auto ($1M CSL), and an Umbrella ($2M–$5M) for larger Build It Right FTTH contracts. Frontier must be named as Additional Insured on your GL and auto policies.
Yes. Frontier requires Additional Insured status on both your General Liability and Commercial Auto policies. The exact Frontier entity name varies by project, state, and contracting arrangement. We issue Frontier-compliant COIs promptly once we have the project entity details from your prime contractor.
Frontier's Build It Right is their large-scale copper-to-fiber conversion program targeting 10 million fiber locations across 25 states by 2025, with continued expansion through 2026 and beyond. Build It Right subcontractors often face stricter COI requirements — particularly for GL and umbrella limits — due to the scale and complexity of simultaneous copper retirement and fiber buildout work. We're familiar with these specific requirements.
Frontier's subcontractor agreements generally require Workers' Comp even for small operators and owner-operators. Even if your state allows sole proprietor exemptions, Frontier's contract will typically require it regardless. We advise carrying Workers' Comp for any Frontier subcontract work across all 25 states.
A full Frontier-compliant coverage package (GL + Workers' Comp + Auto + Umbrella) for a small fiber crew typically runs $4,000–$12,000/year depending on your state, payroll, and revenue. Submit a quote for your specific situation — we'll find competitive pricing across multiple A-rated carriers in your state.
