In 1997, a group of construction companies took control of rising workers’ comp costs
with a simple idea: when responsible businesses act responsibly, everyone wins. That idea became The Builders Group (TBG). Now, TBG is Minnesota’s #1 self-insured workers’ comp fund exclusively serving the construction industry.
We are more than just insurance – we’re a trusted Partner, providing Members with affordable, high-quality coverage tailored to their unique risks. Through our customized services, benefits, and localized support, we help contractors lower costs, improve jobsite safety, and protect their teams.
That’s how we make workers’ comp work.

Why TBG?
Self-Insured Fund: A Smarter Way to Manage Workers’ Comp
As a self-insured fund serving Minnesota's construction industry, TBG helps Members manage claims costs, enhance safety, and access flexible payment options. Since 1997, we’ve grown from $450,000 to nearly $51 million in premiums – without ever assessing our Members. Instead, we pay dividends, proving that workers’ comp can be an investment, not just an expense.
Members get:
- More Control
- More Savings
- More Security
If responsible people act responsibly, everyone wins.
