Construction Professional Indemnity Insurance

Building simplicity

Could your broker be doing more for you?

Tailor made PI insurance for construction contractors

Our team specialises in annual and single project professional indemnity/liability insurance for contractors and their supply chain.

We have placed annual PI programmes for some of the largest contractors in the world and successfully resolved some of the largest and most complicated construction PI claims in the London market, across a wide variety of jurisdictions and construction sectors.

Can traditional PI leave your construction business vulnerable?

Traditionally, insurance brokers have taken a one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to construction professional Indemnity insurance. However, we know that it's more complex than that.

Fortunately, we can create Professional Indemnity and Public Liability insurance programmes that mesh seamlessly with key construction insurance classes. We'll negotiate hard to get you the broadest possible coverage at the best possible rates.

And that's not all. We can also support you on the claims side too, as issues on projects are likely to be covered by a complex web of specialist construction cover.

Experts in Single Project Professional Indemnity (SPPI)

Most contractors won’t need to worry about SPPI. (Annual PI policies will usually provide cover for individual projects.)

However, there are some exceptions where you may also need SPPI. These exceptions include:

When a ring-fenced SPPI solution is contractually required by an employer
Joint ventures working on large projects
Contractors who are working in a foreign territory that requires PI, even if their domiciled territory doesn't (This is often true for joint ventures)

If you do need SPPI, the limited market and capacity can make it challenging to get the necessary cover. Especially if you don't have market access or know how to deal with the relevant insurers.

We have the connections and the technical knowledge to structure and place SPPI programmes all over the world, and can help you obtain indemnity for any project-specific professional risk claims.
