Construction

When damage occurs during a construction project we are ready to assess and defend these claims, while always bearing in mind the relevant insurance issues.

When an insurance loss has been caused by a third party, we thoroughly assess the issue and prepare a strong defense.

We work with insured contractors and sub-trades to provide an effective defence that balances the need for timely, cost-effective resolution with the protection of their reputations and ongoing business relationships.
