Construction Insurance

Large construction projects are complex on account of the diverse risks associated to all phases of the project lifecycle. Our clients therefore require a well thought through risk management strategy.

As part of that risk management strategy, comprehensive insurance protection is vital. There are a myriad of construction insurance products and solutions available, but for major projects, it is essential to utilise the expertise of a specialist construction broker. Gallagher’s Construction division recognises that every construction project is different. We help our clients by using our decades of expertise to help design and implement contractor annual insurance, or specific construction project insurance, which precisely fits each client’s risk profile and helps them achieve their risk transfer objectives.

Our Construction division offers everything in one place; we have built our team specifically to incorporate dedicated specialists for Professional Indemnity, Surety, Financiers Insurance Advisory Services and Environmental Liability, so that we are able to offer truly holistic solutions. This is one of our core differentiators for our clients; our team has the bench strength and depth of expertise all within one team – allowing for consistency and efficiency of service. Where our clients need it, we also work in close partnership with Gallagher’s Real Estate and Financial Risks divisions, to ensure seamless delivery for our clients’ ‘on and offsite’ risks.

Gallagher’s construction insurance division is one of our largest specialty units in the UK. We continue to grow and expand upon our specialism through the attraction and development of our talent, strategic relationships in the industry and deep insurer relationships both locally and with other major international insurance markets. This focus on quality people and strong relationships enables our clients to receive some of the market-leading solutions, and service which is based upon experience and innovation.
