If you find yourself working on a Wrap-Up, there are often documents that need to be completed prior to starting on the project site. Typically, the first document completed is the Enrollment form, as this form helps the Wrap-Up Administrator create a Wrap-Up contract in their system.

Contractors’ insurance programs are often written under a commercial package policy (CPP).
