By Roxanne Libatique

Official data from the UK government shows that construction output volume increased by 0.2% between May 2024 and May 2025, adjusted for seasonal variations. Within this environment, competition among insurance providers focused on construction risks remains strong – and companies are vying for broker support.

Broker insights reveal preferred insurers in construction insurance

Insurance Business UK (IBUK) conducted a detailed survey targeting insurance brokers across the country to identify which construction insurers are meeting the needs of the market.

The research gathered broker opinions on key factors such as specialist knowledge, product relevance, and service standards.

Brokers evaluated insurers they had engaged with over the past year.

Using weighted metrics to assess broker ratings, the study identified those insurers that consistently scored highest in terms of technical capability, client service, and product quality – awarding them 5-Star recognition.
