Understanding Your Needs.
Romano Capital is redefining real estate investment and development by integrating construction, financing, and asset management into a seamless, vertically integrated platform. With a portfolio that spans residential, commercial, and mixed-use projects, your firm operates at the intersection of innovation, scalability, and execution.
From construction risk to investor liability and project financing exposures, your risk profile is complex. You need an insurance partner who not only understands the nuances of real estate development, but also appreciates the strategic vision driving your long-term growth.

Comprehensive Coverage & Risk Management for Romano Capital
At HUB International, we don’t offer cookie-cutter coverage. We design insurance strategies that align with the unique demands of real estate investment, development, and construction, protecting your projects, capital, and long-term vision from the ground up.
Tailored Insurance Solutions: Whether you’re developing residential communities, mixed-use properties, or managing a diverse portfolio of investments, we structure coverage that accounts for construction risk, builder’s risk, environmental exposure, and professional liability, ensuring protection through every phase of the project lifecycle.
Support with Regulatory & Financial Compliance: From lender requirements and lien laws to evolving building codes and investor reporting, we help you stay compliant and confident, reducing friction as you move from permitting to occupancy.
Integrated Risk Management & Claims Advocacy: Our team works as an extension of yours, identifying key risks, supporting jobsite safety initiatives, and providing responsive claims support so you can focus on building value, not managing insurance setbacks.
Safety & Operational Risk Management at Romano Capital
Romano Capital brings a disciplined, forward-looking approach to safety and operational risk management across its development, construction, and property management operations. With projects spanning residential neighborhoods, commercial builds, and mixed-use communities, safety and accountability are built into every phase of the process, from planning to post-completion.
Key risk management practices include:
Construction Site Safety: Romano partners with experienced contractors who follow strict site safety protocols. Jobsite access is controlled, equipment is regularly inspected, and subcontractors are vetted for compliance with OSHA standards and job-specific training requirements.
Workforce Training & Accountability: Project managers and field teams participate in ongoing training covering fall protection, equipment handling, and emergency procedures. Toolbox talks and on-site audits reinforce a culture of safety and shared responsibility.
Property Maintenance & Tenant Safety: For active properties, routine inspections help identify and resolve potential hazards before they become liabilities. Lighting, sidewalks, and common areas are monitored for safety, while maintenance teams are trained in best practices for tenant interaction and risk reduction.
Environmental & Regulatory Compliance: From stormwater management and erosion control during development to proper disposal of construction materials, Romano adheres to local, state, and federal guidelines, minimizing environmental impact and avoiding regulatory setbacks.
Project Oversight & Quality Control: Each development includes layers of oversight to catch potential risks early. From budgeting contingencies for safety upgrades to third-party inspections, Romano prioritizes both compliance and care in every build.
These efforts allow Romano Capital to move quickly without compromising safety, creating spaces that serve communities, protect investments, and reflect the firm’s long-term commitment to excellence and responsible growth.
Operational Efficiency with Safety at the Core
At Romano Capital, operational efficiency is driven by a commitment to safety, quality, and long-term performance. Whether managing active construction sites, coordinating with subcontractors, or overseeing property operations, Romano embeds structure and foresight into every process to deliver projects that meet both investor expectations and community needs.
Key strategies include:
Coordinated Jobsite Logistics: Site access, equipment use, and material staging are carefully managed to avoid delays and reduce risk. Each subcontractor is aligned under a shared schedule and safety plan, minimizing overlap and maintaining clear lines of accountability.
Code Compliance & Fire Safety: All developments are built to exceed local and state safety codes. Fire suppression systems, exit paths, and hazardous material storage are reviewed by third-party inspectors during and after construction to ensure compliance and protect future occupants.
Efficient Project Scheduling: From permitting through punch-list completion, timelines are tracked using project management software that enhances communication, flags potential delays, and ensures the right teams are on-site at the right times.
Smart Property Operations: Active properties are maintained using digital maintenance logs, vendor scheduling tools, and preventative inspection checklists that ensure efficiency and limit liability. This allows Romano’s team to stay ahead of potential issues while delivering a positive experience for tenants and stakeholders.
With these systems in place, Romano Capital builds and manages projects with the precision of a well-run business and the care of a long-term owner, ensuring each asset performs safely, efficiently, and sustainably over time.
