Construction and property professionals facility

Exclusive access to market-leading insurance solutions

Built for your needs

Several years ago, property professionals of all disciplines found it challenging to obtain or renew their professional indemnity insurance (PII). Frustration was compounded by a lack of information on why, and how to mitigate the challenges.

We worked hard to accelerate the improvements in the marketplace by developing our exclusive construction and property professionals facility. It's designed to accommodate a broad range of construction professionals – including, but not limited to engineers, architects and surveyors.

This facility has enabled us to deploy our knowledge, experience and leading market position to deliver long term insurer support to provide the best outcome for your PII at renewal.

The facility offers:

Exclusive, market leading wordings

Howden’s policy wordings benefit from the combined knowledge and expertise of our Construction & Property Professional Indemnity (PI) team, and provides broader cover if a claim is made against you, ensuring optimum risk transfer.

Access to A-rated insurers

All insurers participating in the facility have strong financial standing, supported by experienced underwriters with a long-term commitment to the PI market. Our insurer selection creates a competitive environment, resulting in market-leading terms from experts that understand your business and reward excellence in lower premiums.

Combating market volatility

Our strategic insurance partners have a balanced portfolio of risk, but if one or more insurer withdraws from underwriting PI in any profession – due to a reduction in risk appetite or adverse claims experience – another member of our panel can step in, minimising uncertainty and providing seamless continuity of cover.

Market leverage

Our client’s trust in Howden has provided us with significant purchasing power in the market, enabling us to provide economies of scale and reductions in premium.
