Construction insurance FAQs

What are the key risk challenges for major construction projects?

Major construction projects often come with complex construction risks, including potential loss or damage to property, delays, or unforeseen complications. Having the right construction insurance, such as contractor all risks insurance, helps secure the protection you need. A specialist insurance broker can tailor solutions for your project, assisting with risk management, legal requirements, and compliance with industry standards.

Innovative construction methods, such as cross-laminated timber or cement-free concrete, present unique risks that standard insurance packages may not address. By working with an insurance broker who understands these emerging methods, you can access bespoke insurance that provides comprehensive risk cover. This ensures your construction project remains protected and mitigates risks that may arise from new technologies.

With construction projects increasingly exposed to environmental risks, it’s important to consider climate risk management. Risk insurance cover can integrate environmental protection measures that account for long-term climate risks. A specialist broker can help you understand these risks and provide the right insurance for construction projects that meet legal requirements and stakeholder expectations.

A tailored construction insurance solution is key to safeguarding the success of your project. Whether it's construction public liability insurance, employer’s liability insurance, or contract work insurance, a bespoke solution ensures your coverage is suited to your unique needs. Specialist brokers help identify potential risks and place the right insurance coverage to protect your investments from unforeseen challenges and guarantee smooth project completion.
