Construction Sector

Managing and mitigating risks effectively for our esteemed construction clients

Our comprehensive approach extends to all facets of the construction profession.

Additionally, we extend our coverage to plumbing, heating, and HVAC contractors and consultants, recognising the diverse and interconnected nature of the construction industry. Our tailored insurance solutions are designed to provide a safety net that not only safeguards your professional interests but also fosters a secure and resilient construction environment.

INSURANCE COVERS
Our collective experience covers a broad range of sectors
Professional Indemnity Directors & Officers Crime Insurance Cyber Insurance
Professional Indemnity

The market for construction professional indemnity is going through a period of “hardening” with shrinking capacity, resulting in insurers reducing limits of cover, increasing excesses and increasing premiums.

Never before has the need for a specialist Professional Indemnity been greater, to guide construction clients in their procurement of suitable professional indemnity insurance protection.

Champion Professional Risks has access to a wide panel of specialist construction Professional Indemnity insurers, schemes and “MGAs” so that our clients can benefit from comprehensive cover without it being cost prohibitive.

Directors & Officers

Directors and “officers” of companies can be held personally liable for decisions they make and this liability is unlimited.

Claims can be brought for breach of duty, neglect, errors or omissions and mis-statements. Even unfounded allegations need to be defended and can prove costly.

It is therefore crucial that construction firms carry comprehensive Directors and Officers (D&O) Insurance (sometimes also referred to as Management Liability) to provide protection against these risks and safeguard an individual’s assets.

Champion Professional Risks have extensive experience in arranging D&O cover for construction firms and have direct access to specialist underwriters which means that we can arrange competitive cover which provides total peace of mind for the individuals that sit behind your business.

Crime Insurance

Companies operating in the construction sector are an attractive target for fraudsters as these companies will regularly transfer significant sums of money which criminals are keen to divert to their own coffers.

Whether frauds are “internal” (e.g. an employee embezzling company funds) or “external” (e.g.fraudsters targeting your firm with false invoices), these risks are insurable, providing that you can demonstrate that your firm has the prerequisite controls in place to minimise risk.

Champion Professional Risks have many years experience in arranging Commercial Crime insurance for companies operating in the construction sector to protect hard earned vital funds from getting into the wrong hands.

Crime insurance can be arranged alongside, or within a Cyber Insurance policy but it requires an expert broker to dovetail these insurances together to provide total protection from criminal activity.

Cyber Insurance

Construction firms of all shapes and sizes rely on IT and automated systems to operate effectively.

This dependency on technology creates new risks and makes construction sector firms an attractive target for cyber criminals who will seek to extort, threaten and ultimately profit from vulnerabilities within your IT infrastructure.

There are also less malign risks to consider such the exposure created by GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) which brings with it onerous obligations in respect of the handling of client data and hefty penalties for non-compliance.

Champion Professional Risks have extensive experience in arranging Cyber Insurance for firms in the construction sector to protect against a wide range of cyber threats and can include the following covers:

  • Emergency Response
  • Cyber Extortion
  • Cyber Liability
  • Business Interruption
  • Data Breach Notification Costs
  • Restoration of Systems
  • Public Relations
  • IT Forensics
  • Credit Monitoring
  • Telephone Hacking
  • Computer Crime
