Construction liability that reflects the contracts you sign, backed locally when it matters.

Built for construction risks. Backed in Australia.

INSU Specialty is a wholesale partner built for complex risks in the construction and infrastructure sectors. We help brokers secure practical solutions when conventional markets or approaches don't deliver.
We work with brokers across Australia to deliver tailored insurance solutions for Builders and Principal Contractors, Subcontractors and Specialist Trades and Civil and Infrastructure contractors — supported by underwriting expertise, practical coverage design, and local accountability when it matters most.

INSU Specialty was created in response to a growing gap in the market. Construction businesses operate in a highly contractual, highly regulated environment, yet many insurance products are still designed as broad commercial solutions adapted after the fact.

Our approach is different.
We start with the way construction businesses actually operate — the contracts they sign, the risks they carry, and the claims scenarios they face — and build coverage around that reality.

A specialist focus on the built environment

Construction risk is technical. It requires a deep understanding of contractual liability, project structures, risk transfer, and how claims actually unfold on site.
INSU Specialty exists to provide brokers with access to insurance solutions designed specifically for this sector, including:
Builders and principal contractors
Subcontractors and trades
Property owners and developers
Civil and infrastructure contractors

Local backing. Local claims. Local accountability.

A core principle behind INSU Specialty is keeping decisions within the same market our clients operate in.

Our Manuscript liability offering is supported by Australian-backed capacity and claims handling.

That means underwriting decisions, policy intent, and claims responses are aligned with the legal and commercial environment construction businesses work within every day.

For brokers and their clients, this provides clarity and certainty when it matters most — particularly when navigating complex contractual claims or project disputes.

INSU Specialty exists to deliver construction insurance that reflects real-world contracts, real risks, and real claims outcomes.

By combining specialist expertise with Australian backed capacity and local claims handling, we support brokers in structuring construction liability risk placements in the local market. Local Underwriting, local claims.

Part of the journey

INSU Specialty builds on the experience and market relationships developed through over two decades of insurance broking.

We focus on working with the broker in understanding the client’s needs to source suitable insurance coverage.

Together we improve how construction risk is understood, insured, and supported in the Australian market.

Built for brokers​

INSU Specialty operates exclusively through insurance brokers. We believe specialist insurance works best when brokers have direct access to decision-makers, practical underwriting support, and fast, transparent responses. Our model is designed to support brokers with:

We aim to be a partner brokers can rely on when construction risks require more than a standard market solution.
