Big Risks in Large Scale Construction

Construction continues to reshape America's landscape, with demand growing for more efficient airports, improved hospitals, and larger sports complexes across the country. In this episode, Jon Tellekamp, chief underwriting officer of construction for the Americas at AXA XL, joins the Leader’s Edge podcast to discuss how insurers are responding to the needs and risks of large scale modern day construction. We cover the biggest trends in what’s being built today, how rising costs are shaping underwriting and risk decisions, and the workforce and casualty exposures on the jobsite, before looking ahead to what Tellekamp sees on the horizon for the industry.
