Soft-cost coverage: Why it's rising and how to win over cautious construction clients

In the final Construction Insurance Power Panel of 2025, Insurance Business TV is joined by Chris McLean, Managing Director and National Leader, Construction & Infrastructure at Aon, and Colin Wight, Director and Senior Client Advocate, Construction at Willis, to assess the year that was and what lies ahead.

The panel examines rising tariffs, supply chain pressures, soft cost coverage, modular and mass timber construction risks, delay in startup considerations, and the growing importance of early risk planning. They also discuss increased insurer scrutiny, owner-led risk transfer, and how brokers are leveraging a softening market to secure better terms for clients heading into 2026.
