Interested in our service?
Our Construction Practice is a specialized advising and broking unit dedicated to construction insurance solutions.
The construction and engineering sector operates through projects, bringing together different stakeholders amid evolving legal, contractual, and regulatory landscapes to deliver unique work that hasn’t been previously undertaken in that specific location and form.
Whether it be inception and feasibility considerations over breaking grounds, handover, opening day, or the expiry of warranty or concession periods, uncertainties are a natural component of such projects. Dealing with those ambiguities, delivering a project on time and in budget, despite unforeseen events and accidents, is a key feature of every project.
At GreCo we understand that often it’s not just the physical damage to the project that poses the greatest concern, but rather the liabilities incurred and the consequent financial setbacks and delays that inflict the most significant impact. We take great satisfaction in working with you to overcome any hurdles you may face offering cutting-edge advice and solutions.
We service contractors, engineers and suppliers based on cost-effective annual programmes and comprehensive floaters, as well as open market insurance and reinsurance placements. Whether your operations are focused on domestic projects only or your business model is projects and ex-pat staff abroad, we have the corresponding insurance solution.
Proficient in the pertinent elements of widely used contract formats such as FIDIC, NEC, ICC, VOB, ÖNORM, and others, we’re equipped to engage in dialogue with partners in joint ventures or consortia, as well as project owners and subcontractors. We address risk distribution and insurability considerations, crafting tailored insurance solutions as needed.
Acronyms like EPC, DB and FIDIC as well as terms like Red Book, Yellow Book and Silver book are a part of our daily vocabulary and the basis on which our insurance solutions are founded. We value our collaboration with our clients, as we guide them through various partnership models such as Private Partnerships, Early Contractor Involvement, Alliance Contracting, and the comprehensive Public-Private Partnership. These options span a spectrum of contract environments, allowing us to adapt to their specific needs.
For project owners, we mitigate the potential advantage that contracting parties may have due to their familiarity with the project environment. This proactive approach helps prevent costly disputes, arbitration, and legal conflicts throughout the project execution phase.
We add value in three distinct ways:
Prepare the grounds and protect the base: In annual covers, we provide intermediate and service insurance for companies in construction and engineering. This safety net supports ongoing operations, safeguarding core business activities, staff, equipment, and defending against third-party claims.
Making the project happen: As specialised insurance brokers and consultants, we offer advice on contract negotiations, compliance, regulatory matters, and insurability. We prioritise pragmatism, being solutions-orientated, and resilience. We assist in selecting optimal insurance companies and structures based on price, coverage, and insurer-client focus during conflicts.
Deliver on the promise: When procuring construction insurance, price often takes precedence, yet it’s quality that shines in severe damage or accidents. Construction and engineering claims are complex because they involve many parties and technical intricacies and are high in magnitude due to capital expenditure and liability towards third parties. Our team are here to help you successfully navigate these claims from start to finish, whether that be advising you on the best steps to take or managing the claims process on your behalf.
