“Construction is an opportunity for the broker to grow.”

The interview with Alicia Retuerto, manager of the brokerage Retuerto y Asociados, highlights the growth opportunity that the construction sector represents for insurance brokers. She notes that insurance linked to construction is going through a positive period thanks to the sector's constant development and the ongoing need for specialist cover. However, she warns of insurers' lack of experience with new materials and construction techniques, which could lead to stricter insurance terms.

Alicia mentions the growth of the construction sector thanks to the resumption of projects, the rise in building refurbishment, civil works tendering and government support for renewable energy. She also stresses the importance of grants for energy refurbishment, although she acknowledges that bureaucracy has slowed the delivery of projects linked to these European funds.

She also highlights her brokerage's experience in analysing tenders and the importance of offering specific insurance solutions for new challenges, such as new construction technologies and refurbishment. She also emphasises the need for higher per-victim sub-limits in construction liability insurance.

The interview highlights the recovery of the construction sector, the importance of adapting to new challenges and the need for specialist advice on construction-related insurance to make the most of the sector's growth.
