Construction
Building an insurance solution that protects your business
The construction sector faces a challenging insurance environment, requiring a robust and rigorous approach to ensure optimum coverage. We are proactive in assessing our client’s risk strategy, building on strong market relationships and knowledge across residential, commercial, industrial and civil construction industries.
- The industry is facing challenges, with the last insurer providing PI cover free from exclusions pulling out in June 2019. This leaves architects, fire engineers, building surveyors and other specialist who require this insurance to practice their profession at risk.
- The construction industry is experiencing a rough period with recent declines in residential, apartments and commercial construction work.
- Technology is becoming a large part of the construction industry with BIM/CAD being the most popular technology currently used in the industry (33%), followed by pre-fabricated parts (29%) and digital project management tools (25%). It is important to ensure your insurance coverage reflects this.
