Construction

Properly insuring contractors and construction risks requires thorough knowledge of the marketplace as well as a deep understanding of the important coverage issues necessary to appropriately address the business insurance needs of your clients. Our construction practice group is continuously reviewing and cataloging new coverages, new markets, policy wordings, legislative changes and legal decisions. Our collective experience and database of construction knowledge helps ensure that we ask the right questions, find the best markets, and help you make better informed buying decisions.

We are experienced in placing all types of projects, contractors and developers, design and engineering professionals, and products and suppliers. We are particularly effective in developing comprehensive solutions for those risks with loss problems, difficult or unique coverage needs, as well as exceptionally hazardous or unique operations.
