High-touch service for high-risk construction projects

Driven by experience and insight, JMBI helps owners, developers and construction companies embark on new projects and navigate an increasingly complex risk management landscape, with confidence.

Owners, developers and new projects proceed with certainty and confidence rooted in sound risk strategy

At JMBI, we have extensive experience with clients in the construction industry and are expert at aligning coverage strategies to each phase in the lifecycle of a project—whether it’s new construction or the repositioning of existing assets. We understand the fast pace of construction, the complexity of multi-party contracts, and the financial exposure tied to delay or defect, and we tailor risk management solutions to your specific needs, flexing with your scope and schedule.

We proactively manage the insurance requirements tied to a project: controlling costs, procuring the right coverage, and contractually aligning ownership to tender risk to the appropriate parties. Our process is rooted in the value that meeting requirements should not drive costs higher than the budgets set for insurance during construction and post-completion.

We work with clients in all locations, and we ensure that our clients stay ahead of state-specific nuances that might impact insurance placement.

We also help owners and construction firms:

  • Navigate wrap-up programs, builder’s risk, environmental risk and complex bonding needs
  • Manage every aspect of completion programs and captives, and work to ensure each project remains competitive
  • Contain costs

When a loss occurs, we serve as your first point of contact and your fiercest advocate. Our lawyer-led claims team works quickly and diligently to manage deadlines, gather documentation and resolve disputes, allowing you to stay focused and on schedule.
