Workforce Planning

The success or failure of a construction or design firm can often rest upon its ability to attract and retain talented employees. Marsh, in combination with its sister companies, has customized solutions to assess whether your company is operating with the right people in the right positions. From the evaluation, design, and implementation of recruitment programs, to safety training and worker injury management, our team of experts can help you to expand your reputation as a highly-desirable employer.

Cost-Effective Risk Transfer

Construction companies are often subject to increasing premiums and decreasing limits and options. As a leading broker for the construction and design industry, Marsh’s market presence helps ensure our clients receive a cost-effective insurance program tailored to our clients’ needs. Furthermore, our deep experience enables us to offer comprehensive construction and design-specific benchmarking that can further reduce our clients’ cost of risk by helping them to make optimal insurance limit, retention, and pricing decisions.

Non-Standard Contract or Bond Form Review

Poor contract or bond forms can have a significant negative impact on construction (and related) firms. Marsh’s Construction and Design Industry team are experienced in the issues of insurance, indemnity, and liability that arise from these contracts. Marsh helps its clients to find a reasonable compromise, or assist in negotiating a balanced approach with the contract owners. Our expert knowledge will help in negotiating the necessary approvals from underwriters and assess whether the ultimate delivery of the required documents meets your contractual requirements.
