The growing complexity of construction projects, combined with economic pressures, has made insurers more cautious in assessing coverage. This could result in tighter conditions and limited access to insurance for certain high-risk developments.

Stakeholders are being urged to improve risk management practices to maintain insurability and control costs. The evolving insurance landscape reflects broader concerns about sustainability and resilience within the construction industry.

Rising risks are pushing insurers to adopt stricter policies.
