Our dedicated UK construction team works hand-in-hand with employers to design and place owner controlled insurance programmes (OCIPs) that both protect and enhance your project.
Insurance isn’t always at the top of a company’s to-do list when embarking on a construction project. We understand that, however failing to protect your investments, assets and yourself against possible legal action can be expensive.
The traditional approach is for the contractor to insure the project - after all, the contractor carries the risk! However, more and more project owners are adopting an alternative approach that can offer valuable risk advantages, especially in relation to contractor insolvency.
Owner controlled insurance programmes (OCIPs) have rapidly become the preferred option for building projects. A policy arranged and held by the project owner, an OCIP provides coverage certainty and continuity, cost transparency and savings, and reduces complexity.
Owner Controlled Insurance Programmes
Whilst not forming part of an OCIP, the following additional coverages are available for companies wishing to implement a more comprehensive insurance strategy for their project.
