Your Customer Journey

Professional indemnity insurance has been through a tough market cycle in recent years, particularly across the construction sector. We have seen fire safety and cladding exclusions as a direct impact of the tragic events of Grenfell Tower rightly causing a review into the specification of cladding, particularly for high rise buildings. These significant changes to policy coverage have been coupled with the impacts of a testing economic climate brought about by the 2017 Lloyds reviews into claims activity, Brexit and COVID. Market conditions are now changing, with premium rates decreasing and coverage restrictions being removed or becoming less onerous. With that in mind it’s a great time to be looking to alternative quotations.

Professional indemnity insurance is not just a purchasing concern for construction firms, having the correct cover is often paramount to securing new project work. Brunel PI Brokers assist our clients in ensuring that they are purchasing the right policy for the existing contracts and provide a complimentary contract review service from legally trained experts, for new work. Collateral warranties, appointment documents and letters of reliance are vital when defining where liability sits in the event of a claim, so it’s important to get professional opinion as to the consequences of signing up. Brunel PI Brokers will swiftly provide a review for our clients, highlighting business critical issues, or perhaps simple commercial tweaks, to assist you in the negotiation of fair contract terms.

You will also gain access to My Business Hub which provides a library of regulatory and compliance advice, including HR document templates.

Brunel PI Brokers are continually looking to create competition in the market, which is why we maintain strict independence, not tied to any insurer schemes. Please contact us to commence the quotation process, it’s time for change.
