the Brokerslink global construction team consists of a select group of global insurance and reinsurance

experts whose technical background is based on all aspects of construction. our construction knowledge

is drawn from our previous experience as risk managers, brokers, underwriters and consultants.

While these individuals work independently within the network, they will come together and work as a team

to support one of the Brokerslink members on a construction project. the support includes contractual,

technical and underwriting expertise, with a global perspective, on large onshore and offshore projects

and clients. this intellectual capital and knowledge is strategically located around the world to permit

prompt access, both for clients and key construction insurance markets, while retaining the delivery of

high-quality local service.

Brokerslink approaches construction risk from a holistic basis. We look at all forms of risk – those that

are traditionally transferred through commercial insurance products, as well as those that can’t be

transferred and need to be mitigated and understood to provide a complete analysis of risk.

our approach is process driven. it starts early on in the pre-bid phase, not just with the placement of

insurance policies.

the construction risk continuum has exposure at each step. the Brokerslink process is designed to

provide review and advisory counsel at each step.
