Workers Compensation Solutions for Construction and Field Service Companies in Ohio
Construction and field service companies operate in some of the most physically demanding and high-risk environments in Ohio. Frequent injuries, mobile worksites, subcontractor coordination, and complex claims can drive workers compensation costs higher each year. Armada Employer Group helps employers take control of these expenses through lower premiums, stronger safety strategies, and direct claims management. Our AEO model gives construction leaders a strategic alternative that delivers cost savings without requiring them to change their EIN or payroll provider.

How AEG’s AEO Model Reduces Costs for Construction Companies
Many construction and field service employers stay in the state fund or join a PEO and still face rising premiums, inconsistent pricing, and slow claims support. Armada’s AEO model offers a more flexible and cost-effective alternative.
A Model Built for High-Risk, Mobile Work Environments
- Employers keep their EIN
- Employers maintain their current payroll provider
- Underwriting is based on true risk, not broad construction classifications
This structure often results in significant premium reductions. Our hands-on claims management reduces reserves, shortens claim duration, and creates more predictable long-term pricing.

Construction & Field Service Workers' Compensation FAQs
How can construction companies reduce workers' compensation costs in Ohio?
Construction companies can reduce workers’ compensation costs by improving job site safety, reporting injuries quickly, managing claims proactively, and implementing effective return-to-work strategies. AEG also provides an alternative workers’ compensation structure designed to give qualifying Ohio employers greater cost control.
What are the most common workers' compensation claims in construction?
Common construction claims include falls from heights, struck-by and caught-between incidents, equipment-related injuries, sprains and strains, overexertion, and slips, trips, and falls. These injuries can become especially costly when claims remain open or employees experience extended time away from work.
How does AEG help construction companies manage claims?
AEG provides direct claims oversight, rapid injury response, return-to-work coordination, and ongoing risk management support. This hands-on approach is designed to reduce claim duration, manage reserves, and improve long-term workers’ compensation outcomes.
Does Armada provide job site safety support?
Yes. Armada provides safety assessments and OSHA-focused guidance designed to help construction and field service employers identify workplace hazards, reduce incidents, and strengthen safety practices across job sites.
Do I have to change my payroll provider to work with Armada?
No. AEG’s Alternative Employer Organization model allows employers to maintain their existing payroll provider and EIN while accessing workers’ compensation, claims, and risk management support.
Can AEG support construction companies with employees at multiple job sites?
Yes. Armada’s model can support construction and field service employers operating across multiple locations and mobile job sites in Ohio. Consistent injury reporting, claims oversight, and safety practices can be especially important for employers with decentralized field operations.
What size construction company is a good fit for Armada?
Armada may be a strong fit for construction and field service companies spending $10,000 or more annually on workers’ compensation premiums, particularly those experiencing costly claims, rising rates, or challenges managing risk across multiple job sites.
Can a construction company headquartered outside Ohio work with Armada?
Potentially. Armada primarily supports employers with operations in Ohio. A construction or field service company may still be eligible if it has employees working in Ohio, even if its headquarters is located in another state.
How do I know if an AEO is right for my construction company?
If your company is experiencing rising workers’ compensation costs, costly claims, limited control within the state fund or a PEO, or challenges managing risk across field operations, an AEO may provide a more flexible alternative. Armada can review your current structure and determine whether its model is a fit.
