Real-World Problem Solving

Benefit from our proven experience in working with brokers and the clients to deliver successful outcomes.

Issue

An insured’s risk manager approached Lexington for data on key construction loss drivers to determine potential causes of loss. The risk manager wanted to address various exposures and manage the overall cost of risk.

Solution

We provided proprietary claims and risk data, detailing the frequency and potential severity of industry loss drivers. We also provided a risk engineering service plan including insights on how to help prevent or mitigate loss.

Benefit

The broker and the risk manager used our expansive view of first-party construction risks to customize the insured’s risk management program to the scale and uniqueness of its operations and project exposures.

Why is this important?

Lexington’s vast experience, data, and solutions help insureds lower overall cost of risk.

Issue

A multi-year project was halted for several months due to labor, materials, and supply chain challenges. This delay resulted in a change to project scope and extension of construction timeline.

Solution

Working with the broker and the client, we provided both a coverage solution for the standstill period and committed to provide a coverage extension for the anticipated duration of the project.

Benefit

Continuity of coverage allowed the client to continue on the project through challenging economic circumstances.

Why is this important?

Builders Risk is there when clients need them, during challenging times and over the long term.

Issue

To better understand the exposures, best practices, and risk mitigation efforts surrounding a new and trending construction class, a client’s risk manager sought our expertise prior to project initiation.

Solution

Risk engineering, claims, and underwriting provided a multi-faceted risk engineering proposal supported by white papers and insights on how innovative new technology can help lower the frequency and severity of future losses.

Benefit

Implementing our recommendations resulted in a highly customized program with a lower cost of risk.

Why is this important?

We support client innovation through the depth of our dedicated risk services.
