Austin issued them a permit with a demolition work class — Demolition — and none of their 24 prior permits carried one. Standard general liability names explosion, collapse and underground damage as exclusions, which is the work they have just taken on.

Austin issued your permit at 2720 Goodwin Ave on 2026-08-11 with a demolition work class. Going back through your permit history, it is the first one.

Standard general liability names explosion, collapse and underground damage as exclusions — the XCU exclusion. That is the work a demolition scope involves, so a policy written for remodel work usually does not follow you into it.

If the demolition is subbed out and their certificate names you as additional insured, this is a non-issue. If you are self-performing it, it is worth twenty minutes before the first machine is on site.

Do not sayAnything about what they currently carry. We can see the permit; we cannot see the policy, and the difference is the whole credibility of the message.
