Every new neighbourhood and garden village project is unique and exposed to both different types and levels of risk. This is why we firmly believe in designing bespoke and flexible risk advisory and insurance solutions covering both the construction and operational elements of a project.

Given the variety of project and procurement types, as well as the overall development duration, our approach is to find the most appropriate risk strategy for each project element and combine these into a professionally designed, fit for purpose insurance programme that remains flexible and secures optimum value for our clients.
