Our Construction Insurance Market Update 2025 is an industry-specific report providing insights into market trends, coverage developments, and risk management strategies within the Australian construction sector. It’s an addendum to the Australian Mid-Year Insurance Market Update, helping construction firms understand current conditions and emerging risks.

Premiums can be influenced by factors such as increased claims related to project delays, subcontractor defaults, and environmental liabilities, as well as insurer risk appetite shifts in high-value or complex construction projects.

By implementing robust safety protocols, improving project management practices, and proactively managing subcontractor relationships, construction firms can reduce claims frequency and severity, strengthening their risk profiles and negotiating better coverage terms.

Construction firms should focus on enhancing coverage for project delays, environmental liabilities, cyber risks, and subcontractor default, as these areas are increasingly impacting project outcomes and insurance premiums in 2025.

By staying informed about insurer appetite shifts and emerging market trends, construction companies can tailor their project planning, select suitable risk transfer solutions, and position their bids more competitively, ultimately improving project feasibility and insurance outcomes.
