Contract Works and Modern Methods of Construction (MMC)

Join us for an informative and CPD-accredited webinar presented by Patrick Dunne Geraghty, Underwriting Manager for Construction, Engineering and Marine and  Gerard O’Byrne, Specialist Construction and Liability Underwriterat at Allianz. This session offers valuable insights into Contract Works insurance with a particular focus on evolving construction methods and their underwriting implications.

The purpose of the session is an overview of Contract Works followed by a view of Standard vs Non Standard Construction from both a Customer (Contractors) view and the view of the Insurance professional. It aims to give the attendees an appreciation from both perspectives with a view to enhancing their conversations with customers.

As construction technology evolves, so do the associated risks. This session will address emerging challenges in the Contract Works space, providing brokers with the knowledge needed to better serve their construction clients. Patrick will offer expert analysis of Design Exclusions (DE1-DE5) and essential contractual requirements that impact coverage and claims.

Drawing on their extensive industry experience, Patrick and Gerald will share claims examples that highlight key underwriting considerations and potential pitfalls.
