2022 Construction Risk Management Conference

The number and the magnitude of projects have increased significantly in North America. We are observing that contract values have increased approximately 30% year over year and we anticipate continued improvement throughout the remainder of 2022. Certain high hazard exposures and contractors with challenging risk profiles will continue to experience rate increases, but the rate of these increases will be tempered as the market improves. With an influx of capital into the market, compounded by increased competition for quality risks, the market has shown an increased trend towards flexibility in pricing and coverage offerings.
