construction Insurance
London Market

Flexible insurance, designed for specialists.

The construction industry is characterised by multiple risk variables that impact safety, timing, completion, and profitability.  In addition to placing more standard construction coverage, we are specialists within the high-risk construction sector, where our deep knowledge of the London market enables us to provide tailored solutions in circumstances where the domestic insurance market is unable to assist.
