More Capacity, More Confidence; Builders Risk Up to $300M

In today’s construction market, rising costs, climate uncertainty, regulatory shifts, and increasingly complex project requirements are putting unprecedented pressure on Builders Risk programs. Traditional single‑carrier solutions can struggle to keep pace—especially as project values continue to climb. That’s where quota share becomes a strategic advantage.

A quota share structure brings multiple insurers together to share premiums, limits, and losses at pre‑set percentages. For brokers and customers, this means expanded capacity, greater stability, and the ability to confidently insure even the most complex or high‑value projects.

Why Quota Share Matters Now:

Construction risks are evolving quickly:

• Escalating project costs driven by labor shortages, material price volatility, and supply chain disruptions.

• Climate volatility causing unpredictable losses—even in historically low‑risk regions.

• More frequent and costly claims, especially from water damage, fire, and theft.

• Regulatory pressures increasing overall project values and complicating insurance needs.

Together, these trends are reshaping capacity needs across the market.

How Quota Share Solves These Challenges

A well‑structured quota share helps you deliver stronger solutions for your clients by:

• Spreading risk across multiple carriers, enabling support for large and complex projects.

• Providing stable, sustainable capacity even in higher risk segments like wood‑risk segments like wood-frame or renovation work.

• Managing increasing adverse weather events and regulatory shifts that are driving greater unpredictability in the market.

• Maintaining flexibility to address infrastructure projects with high limits and unique risk profiles.
