Risk Advisory

Key Exposures We Address

Real Estate Developers operations carry distinct risks that require specialized coverage strategies. Our team identifies and mitigates the exposures most likely to impact your business.

01
Construction Defect Claims
Post-completion defects in residential and commercial projects can result in multi-million dollar claims years after the project is sold.
02
Environmental Contamination
Site acquisition and ground disturbance can uncover pre-existing contamination, triggering remediation costs and third-party liability.
03
Delay & Cost Overrun
Construction delays and cost overruns can erode project economics and trigger lender default provisions.
04
Third-Party Bodily Injury
Active construction sites create significant bodily injury exposure for neighboring property owners and passersby.
05
Lender & Investor Requirements
Construction lenders and equity investors impose strict insurance requirements as a condition of funding.
06
Completed Operations Tail
Developer liability for completed projects can extend for years under state statutes of repose.
