The PI market has been through a challenging cycle in recent years, particularly across the construction sector. Fire safety and cladding exclusions emerged as a direct consequence of the Grenfell Tower tragedy, prompting a wide-ranging review into cladding specification — especially for high-rise buildings. These coverage changes were compounded by a difficult economic climate shaped by the 2017 Lloyd’s claims review, Brexit and COVID-19. Market conditions are now improving, with premium rates falling and coverage restrictions easing. This makes it an ideal time to explore alternative quotations.
Having the right professional indemnity insurance in place is not simply a compliance requirement — for many construction firms, it is essential to winning new project work. PiiBrokers helps clients ensure their policy aligns with existing contracts and provides a complimentary contract review service from legally trained experts for new engagements. Collateral warranties, appointment documents and letters of reliance are critical documents that define where liability sits in the event of a claim. Understanding the consequences before signing is essential, and PiiBrokers will promptly review these on your behalf, identifying business-critical issues or recommending adjustments to support fair contract negotiations.
PiiBrokers maintains strict independence with no tied insurer schemes, ensuring we always act in your best interests. To begin the quotation process, please submit your details below and a member of our team will be in touch.
