Construction & Trades

Benefits built around the crew

388 firms, 2,816 jobs, and a roster that holds

Construction employs about 2,816 people in Teton County — 11.8% of the county — across 388 establishments: 154 building contractors, 12 heavy and civil, and 222 specialty trades. Average pay is about $82,477, with building contractors near $95,933.

Construction's seasonal swing here is only 9.5%, peak to trough. Compared with hospitality's 83%, that is a stable roster — which means a traditional group plan often fits cleanly, and the design work goes into classes, contribution and network rather than eligibility gymnastics.

Injury exposure decides the network

BLS injury and illness rates run 4.6 per 100 full-time workers in framing, 3.0 in plumbing and HVAC, and 2.5 in residential building — against 2.3 for all private industry. Wyoming construction turnover is about 38.7% per quarter.

A crew with real injury exposure needs a network that covers St. John's Health and the orthopedic and urgent-care options your people actually use, and a plan that handles a claim without a fight. We check both before recommending anything.

Common questions

What construction & trades employers ask.

Yes. General contractors, framers, electricians, plumbers, HVAC and excavation firms across Teton County are inside our normal service area. We run reviews and renewals by phone and video, and we meet in person when a group wants that.

Not usually, but it changes which carriers make sense. Networks differ sharply across the line, and because Huhn Insurance is licensed in both states we can compare both sides. Multi-state crews are a design question we settle up front.

It changes the rating and it changes which network matters. Industry classification affects the quote, and a trade with real injury exposure needs coverage for the orthopedic and urgent-care options your people actually use. We put the roster in front of multiple carriers, which is where the differences show.

Usually, and where it does not fit you have options. Different classes of employee can carry different contribution structures, and utilization differs between office and field. We set the classes and the contribution split before the quote rather than after.

Depending on the plan, we may be paid by the insurance carrier, by a client-paid fee, or by a mix of both. How we are paid is disclosed in writing up front, and if there is a fee paid by you we explain it before you move forward. Recommendations are based on fit.
